Production Lead (LIDAR)

Role & responsibilities

Perform flight-line matching, strip alignment, and geoid adjustment to ensure LiDAR data accuracy and consistency.

• Classify ground, vegetation, buildings, and other features in accordance with project specifications and classification standards.
• Perform hydro-breakline digitization and assign appropriate elevations to ponds, rivers, and other water bodies.
• Generate and validate LiDAR-derived products, including Digital Elevation Models (DEM), Digital Surface Models (DSM), and contours.
• Conduct quality control (QC) of classified point clouds and derived products to ensure compliance with project specifications and accuracy requirements.
• Troubleshoot data processing issues and optimize workflows to improve production efficiency and data quality.
• Lead the LiDAR processing team by allocating tasks, planning production schedules, and monitoring daily progress.
• Ensure project milestones and delivery schedules are met without compromising data quality.
• Coordinate with relevant teams to resolve technical issues, minimize production delays, and maintain smooth project execution.
• Monitor team productivity and ensure adherence to established processing procedures and quality standards

Preferred candidate profile
