Job Description
Summary: WSP is currently seeking a Data Modeler to join our growing team in Valhalla, NY, with a strong emphasis on data capture, point cloud processing, and Scan-to-BIM workflows. The role will support the integration of field-collected data into coordinated BIM environments, enabling accurate modeling, analysis, and decision-making across infrastructure, engineering, and transportation programs.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain logical and physical data models (conceptual, relational, semantic, dimensional) that support Scan-to-BIM workflows and reality capture data integration
- Collaborate with engineering, BIM, and multidisciplinary teams to translate field-collected data (laser scans, surveys, point clouds) into structured, BIM-ready data environments
- Support data governance, data quality procedures, metadata standards, and BIM data modeling protocols, ensuring consistency across digital assets
- Assist in maintaining and optimizing data pipelines that transform and integrate point cloud data into coordinated BIM models from multiple sources and platforms
- Prepare data dictionaries, model element mapping, lineage documentation, and Scan-to-BIM specifications
- Participate in data integration, validation, and QA/QC processes for reality capture and BIM datasets
- Contribute to reporting and analytics by ensuring that data derived from scanning and BIM models supports accurate insights and decision-making
- Uphold WSP’s standards for data integrity, digital delivery, and compliance, supporting reliable use of reality capture and BIM data across projects
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, with exposure to BIM, reality capture, or geospatial technologies preferred
- 1–3 years of experience in data modeling, point cloud processing, Scan-to-BIM workflows, or database-related work (internships included)
- Foundational understanding of relational databases, SQL, and data modeling concepts (e.g., ERD, star/snowflake schemas), with the ability to structure and manage data derived from laser scanning and digital surveys
- Ability to communicate technical concepts related to BIM, reality capture, and data workflows to non-technical stakeholders
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills, especially when handling large, complex point cloud and BIM datasets, with a willingness to learn and adapt to evolving technologies
- Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams, supporting the integration of field data into coordinated BIM environments
Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with reality capture and modeling tools (e.g., ReCap, Revit, Navisworks), with an emphasis on point cloud processing and Scan-to-BIM workflows. Experience with data modeling tools (e.g., ERWin, dbt, SQL Developer, Power BI modeling layer) is a plus
- Familiarity with cloud-based data environments (e.g., ACC, Azure Synapse, Snowflake, AWS Redshift) for managing and integrating large-scale scan and BIM datasets
- Exposure to Python, R, or similar scripting languages for processing point clouds, automating Scan-to-BIM tasks, and performing data transformation
- Understanding of data governance, metadata standards, and master data management, particularly in the context of BIM and reality capture data
Required Skills: Data modeling, Point cloud processing, Scan-to-BIM workflows
Important Skills: Relational databases, SQL, BIM technologies
Nice-to-Have Skills: Data governance, Metadata standards, Master data management, Cloud-based environments, Scripting languages
