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 Responsibilities Include:
Plan and execute capture activities on active jobsites, collaborating with project teams to scope, schedule, and execute workflows that meet construction coordination, QA/QC, and safety needs.
Deploy and operate capture technologies such as drones, laser scanners, total stations, 360° cameras, RTK systems, web cameras, and GPR equipment, ensuring safe and effective use.
Process and align captured data, post-processing imagery and point clouds to integrate into BIM models and project coordinate systems, ensuring accuracy.
Support VDC and field teams with actionable insights by translating raw data into usable outputs like orthophotos, deviation reports, and 3D comparisons to aid decision-making.
Train and support field users, delivering hands-on training and documentation to empower teams to use capture systems independently.
Maintain equipment readiness through regular inspection, calibration, and documentation for asset tracking and repairs.
Develop standardized workflows and SOPs for enterprise-wide reality capture, tailored to project types and deliverables.
Evaluate and implement new technologies by piloting and assessing emerging capture tools, working with vendors and innovation initiatives.
Build cross-functional partnerships with VDC, Data Analytics, and AI teams to ensure data aligns with workflows and strategic goals.
Measure and communicate ROI by defining KPIs related to project outcomes and developing case studies and visual reports.
Lead program growth and team development, mentoring staff and fostering a data-driven construction culture.
Manage budgeting, cost modeling, and departmental growth, including equipment depreciation, software licenses, personnel, and training, supporting financial planning and justifying investments.
Eligibility:
Verification of employment eligibility to work in the U.S. is required.
Benefits include:
Competitive salary
Medical, dental, and vision benefits
Retirement plans
Flexible Spending Accounts
Life insurance
Educational assistance
Paid time off (PTO)
Parenting benefits
Long-term disability
Charitable matching through the Ryan Foundation
Paid volunteer time
