What are the responsibilities and job description for the 3D Scanning Technician position at Ellaway Blues Consulting?
We are currently seeking to appoint a 3D Scanning Technician for a client operating within the power generation and industrial engineering sector, based in Houston, TX.
This is a hands-on role focused on dimensional inspection of high precision components, with a strong emphasis on 3D scanning and data analysis. You’ll be responsible for interpreting scan data, validating against design intent, and working closely with engineering and production teams to resolve issues and improve overall quality.
Key responsibilities include:
• Executing and interpreting 3D scans using blue light systems (ATOS or similar)
• Validating dimensional data against GD&T and design specifications
• Supporting engineering teams with fit, form, and manufacturing challenges
• Contributing to inspection process improvements and best practice
• Supporting root cause analysis on non-conforming components
From a profile perspective, this will suit someone with a background in metrology, dimensional inspection, or quality within a precision manufacturing environment. You’ll need to be comfortable working hands-on with scanning equipment, interpreting data, and operating with a level of independence. Experience within turbine, aerospace, or similarly high-tolerance environments would be beneficial, but not essential if the fundamentals are strong.
This is a good opportunity to step into a technically focused role with real ownership in a well-invested and growing environment.
