Position Summary

We are seeking a skilled and tech-savvy Pavement Engineer with direct hands-on experience operating the LCMS-2 (Laser Crack Measurement System) data acquisition vehicle. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end process of pavement condition data collection, from planning the survey missions to processing the data and generating actionable reports. Your expertise will be critical in delivering high-quality, accurate data that forms the foundation of our clients' pavement management programs.

Key Responsibilities

LCMS-2 Operations & Data Collection:
Operate and manage the LCMS-2 system mounted on a survey vehicle, ensuring all sensors (lasers, cameras, IMU, DMI, GPS) are calibrated and functioning correctly.
Plan and execute efficient data collection missions, adhering to project-specific protocols and safety standards.
Perform daily system checks, pre- and post-mission calibrations, and basic troubleshooting of hardware and software issues in the field.
Ensure the integrity and quality of raw data collected during surveys.
Data Processing & Analysis:
Process raw LCMS-2 data using proprietary software (e.g., RoadRecorder, DYS) to extract pavement distress metrics, including cracking, rutting, roughness (IRI), and macrotexture.
Perform quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) on processed data to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Classify and interpret pavement conditions based on established standards (e.g., ASTM, State DOT specifications).
Reporting & Project Support:
Generate comprehensive pavement condition reports and data deliverables for clients.
Work with senior engineers to analyse data trends and contribute to pavement evaluation and rehabilitation recommendations.
Assist in the development and maintenance of Pavement Management Systems (PMS) by providing reliable condition data.
Provide technical support and insights for proposals and client meetings related to data collection services.

Qualifications & Experience

Required:

B.Sc. in Civil Engineering, Surveying, Geomatics, or a related field.
Minimum of 3 years of professional experience operating a data acquisition vehicle, with specific, hands-on experience with the LCMS-2 system.
Proficiency with LCMS-2 data processing software (e.g., RoadRecorder, Data Viewer Studio).
Solid understanding of pavement distress types (longitudinal, transverse, alligator cracking, rutting, etc.) and their identification.
Willingness and ability to travel extensively (up to 50-75%) for project work.
Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.

Preferred:

E.I.T. (Engineer in Training) or P.E. (Professional Engineer) license.
Experience with other pavement data collection systems (e.g., ARAN, Hawkeye, PaveVision).
Experience with GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS) and database management.
Knowledge of scripting (e.g., Python, R) for data manipulation and automation is a plus.

Skills & Competencies

Technical Proficiency: Deep, practical knowledge of the LCMS-2 hardware and software suite.
Analytical Mindset: Strong data analysis and problem-solving skills with a keen attention to detail.
Independence: Ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision.
Communication: Ability to document procedures clearly and communicate technical findings effectively to team members.
Adaptability: Flexibility to handle changing schedules, project demands, and travel requirements.

Working Conditions

This role is split between field deployment and office-based data processing.
Extensive travel is a core requirement of this position. Project work may involve consecutive weeks on the road, often covering large geographic regions.
Field work involves long hours inside a vehicle and requires adherence to strict traffic safety protocols.
