Ryan Companies US, Inc. Job Description We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced professional to join Ryan Companies as a Reality Capture Manager, with an initial focus on supporting our Mission Critical sector and planned expansion into broader enterprise-wide support. This role will be instrumental in operationalizing and scaling Ryan's reality capture program, and in shaping its long-term direction within our construction technology ecosystem. As the Reality Capture Manager, you will lead Ryan’s efforts to digitize the jobsite, transforming real-world conditions into structured digital assets that support jobsite safety analysis, construction coordination, progress validation, and quality assurance workflows. You will be responsible for implementing advanced data capture systems tailored to construction environments—including, but not limited to, standard imagery, 360° photography and video, terrestrial and SLAM-based laser scanning, total stations, aerial drone systems, web cameras, ground robotics, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and other sensor-driven technologies. These systems will enable comprehensive and accurate digital representations of the jobsite. In this role, you will act as a vital bridge between field operations and technology, collaborating closely with our Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) teams and cross-functional partners in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, who rely on this data to drive insights and innovation across the project lifecycle. This position requires a proactive, forward-thinking leader with 7–12 years of industry and geospatial experience, a proven ability to leverage digital tools to solve complex construction challenges, and a strong desire to develop and lead a growing, enterprise-level program. The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands-on—capable of supporting day-to-day field execution and technical implementation while also setting a compelling long-term vision. Success in this role requires excellent communication and critical thinking skills, along with the ability to clearly articulate the value and return on investment (ROI) of reality capture initiatives to both technical teams and executive stakeholders. Some Things You Can Expect To Do Plan and execute capture activities on active jobsites by collaborating with project teams to scope, schedule, and execute capture workflows that meet construction coordination, QA/QC, and safety analysis needs. Deploy and operate capture technologies such as drones, laser scanners, total stations, 360° cameras, RTK systems, timelapse web cameras, and GPR equipment, ensuring safe and effective operation. Post-process imagery and point cloud data to align with project coordinate systems, integrate into BIM models and other systems, and ensure data accuracy. Support VDC and field teams with actionable insights by translating raw data into outputs like orthophotos, deviation reports, and 3D comparisons, aiding construction decision-making. Train and support field users through hands-on training and documentation to empower them to independently use capture systems. Maintain equipment readiness and calibration, ensuring all reality capture equipment is regularly inspected, calibrated, and maintained, with documentation for asset tracking and repairs. Develop and standardize enterprise capture workflows and SOPs tailored to different project types, phases, and deliverables. Evaluate and implement new technologies by piloting, assessing, and adopting emerging capture tools, working with vendors and innovation initiatives. Build cross-functional partnerships with internal groups like VDC, Data Analytics, and AI to ensure data aligns with downstream workflows and strategic goals. Measure and communicate ROI by defining KPIs, evaluating impact on project outcomes, and sharing case studies and success stories across teams and leadership. Lead program growth and team development by championing reality capture adoption, mentoring team members, and fostering a data-driven construction culture. Manage budgeting, cost modeling, and department growth, developing financial plans to support scaling, justify investments, and demonstrate cost-benefit alignment.
