Who we are
Smart AIS is a leading company in inspection and asset integrity, with projects around the world. We focus on safety, compliance, and optimising industrial assets. We work closely with clients to deliver the best solutions and do so with a team of dedicated professionals who always strive for innovation and efficiency.
What you'll do
Together with your colleagues, you will manage complete 3D laser scanning projects for our broad portfolio of clients. You will carry out these scans using state-of-the-art FARO and NavVis 3D laser scanners.
The work takes place both in the Netherlands and abroad, making your role highly varied and your work location different from one project to the next.
After completing the scanning activities, you will help process the data into registered point clouds and various data formats. We use specialist software, including Cyclone, to process the collected data.
During scanning activities, you will coordinate closely with the person responsible for the project regarding the current situation, progress and any deviations. You will resolve technical issues or quality-related matters in consultation with the Service Leader.
You will work accurately and independently in accordance with the scan project plan, schedule and agreed requirements. Naturally, safety, quality, efficiency and sustainability are always key priorities.
