About the Company

SIXENSE is the worldwide leader for the design, installation, maintenance and operation of large automated monitoring systems during the construction of iconic infrastructure across the globe. Optical monitoring instruments constitute a key component of those systems. During the last two decades, SIXENSE has developed a proprietary AMTS (Automatic Motorized Total Station) design, compatible with all major manufacturers of Robotic Total Stations. SIXENSE deployed hundreds of AMTS in the USA and Canada on small and large construction projects. Their performance relies on the robustness of their initial design and on the quality of the post-processing of the survey data, using our proprietary fully automated 3D least square adjustment software. We are looking for an experienced survey Engineer (or senior Survey Technician) in order to strengthen our capacity to deploy AMTS on our sites. The AMTS Engineer will design, supply, install and maintain (with the support of field engineers), and operate remotely the AMTS for our projects, primarily in Ontario.
