Help Digitally Capture the World’s Leading Commercial & Hospitality Properties

This is not a typical field role.

Our teams work at the intersection of technology, architecture, hospitality, and digital transformation—capturing premier resorts, commercial properties, and complex renovation environments using advanced scanning and documentation technologies. We are looking for individuals who enjoy travel, problem-solving, technology, and working in dynamic real-world environments.

If you are professional, adaptable, technically curious, and excited by the opportunity to work on nationally recognized properties while helping shape the future of digital building documentation, we’d like to meet you.

Compensation: $60,000 – $85,000 annually with signing, relocation and bonus potential. Competitive benefits and work-life balance culture.

About Prologue

Prologue Systems is redefining how existing buildings are captured, modeled, and understood. We combine advanced reality capture technologies with refined Scan-to-BIM workflows to deliver industry-leading digital representations of complex hospitality and commercial environments.

Our field teams are a critical part of that process—serving as the front line of data collection, client interaction, and project execution. This role requires professionalism, adaptability, and a strong attention to detail while operating in active hospitality and commercial environments.

About the Role

As a Field Technician, you will travel to project sites to perform LiDAR scanning, field documentation, photography, and existing conditions data collection. You will work closely with project managers, BIM production teams, and fellow field staff to ensure high-quality data capture and successful project execution.

This is a highly client-facing role requiring professionalism, communication skills, and strong representation of both the Prologue Systems and Prologue Hospitality brands.

The role includes extensive travel and field work, often at premier destination resorts and high-profile hospitality properties throughout the United States and internationally.

While the work can be labor-intensive and requires long days on active project sites, it is not considered physically demanding.

What You’ll Do

• Perform LiDAR scanning and reality capture operations at project sites
• Collect field measurements, site documentation, photography, and existing conditions data
• Operate and maintain scanning equipment and related field technology
• Assist with field verification and coordination efforts
• Organize and transfer field data for internal production teams
• Communicate professionally with clients, property staff, consultants, and project stakeholders
• Represent Prologue with professionalism, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills while on-site
• Support internal quality control and documentation workflows
• Participate in occasional weekend work and extended field assignments as project schedules require

Travel & Field Operations

This position includes extensive multi-day travel throughout the United States and occasionally abroad.

Many projects involve travel to premier hospitality destinations, luxury resorts, and nationally recognized properties—offering a unique opportunity to work in environments most people only experience as guests.

Some assignments may require up to 7 consecutive days in the field depending on project size and scheduling requirements. Weekend work may occasionally be required and is compensated appropriately.

Candidates who enjoy travel, changing environments, and hands-on project work tend to thrive in this role.

Required Qualifications

• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word
• Professional demeanor and strong client-facing communication abilities
• Valid driver’s license with safe driving record
• Ability to pass background checks

Some projects may require additional client-specific drug screening prior to site access.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $60,000 – $85,000 annually, depending on experience, technical capabilities, and leadership potential
• Opportunities for advancement into technical, BIM, and project management roles
• Generous benefits package including:
• 401(k)
• Health benefits
• 3 weeks PTO with additional PTO based on tenure
• Strong work/life balance culture
• Travel opportunities throughout the United States

You’ll join a collaborative team that values:

• Innovation over convention
• Precision without bureaucracy
