Trimble Layout Technician - MEP Construction

Job Summary

Statewide Electrical Contractors is hiring a Trimble Layout Technician for our Lakeland office.

You turn drawings and models into exact points on the job site, so our crews install in the right place the first time. You also help the office team with drawings, as-builts and coordination.

Part of your week is in the Lakeland office, preparing point files from AutoCAD or Revit and keeping drawings up to date. The other part is on our job sites across Tampa Bay, Polk County and the Orlando area, where you set up the robotic total station and lay out sleeves, inserts, hangers, conduit stub-ups and equipment before the work starts.

What you get

• $28–$35 an hour, depending on your experience
• Overtime paid at time and a half for hours over 40
• Full-time, 40 hours a week, year-round work
• Health, dental, vision and life insurance, plus paid time off

Duties

• Layout prep (office): Build layout points from AutoCAD or Revit drawings (for example with Trimble Field Points) and load them into Trimble FieldLink.
• Field layout: Set up and run the Trimble robotic total station on our job sites. Lay out sleeves, embeds, inserts, hangers, conduit stub-ups, equipment and pads on decks, slabs and walls.
• As-builts: Shoot as-built points, bring them back into the drawings or model, and keep the as-built set current.
• Drawing support: Help our project managers and estimators with drawing updates, PDF markups (for example Bluebeam), sheet sets and plan prints.
• Coordination: Spot where the drawings and the field don't match, and tell the project manager and foreman before work starts.
• Planning: Plan layout days with the foremen, so crews never wait for points.
• Equipment: Check, charge, clean and store the total station, data collector and accessories, and keep the layout kit ready.
• Safety: Follow OSHA rules and our safety program on every job site.

Requirements

• Experience laying out with a robotic total station (Trimble, Hilti, Leica, Topcon or similar), ideally 1 year or more, on a construction site or a survey crew.
• Trimble robotic total station and FieldLink experience is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD. Revit is a plus.
• Able to read construction drawings: electrical and mechanical plans, sections, details, grid lines and elevations.
• Careful with numbers: you check your control points before you lay out.
• Clear communication with foremen, project managers and the office.
• A valid driver's license, to drive to our job sites.
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 is a plus.
• Able to walk job sites, climb ladders, carry the layout kit (up to 50 lb) and work outdoors in Florida heat, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Apply with your resume and tell us about one layout job you ran: what you laid out and which equipment you used. We call good applicants within 1 to 3 days.
