XYZ Reality at a glance
Engineering-grade AR for construction: a hardhat that shows the design on site to millimeter accuracy, plus a platform to catch errors before they get built.
XYZ Reality builds the Atom, a construction hardhat with an augmented-reality visor that overlays 3D BIM models onto a live site at roughly 5mm accuracy, so field engineers can spot clashes and errors before they get built. Around the headset sits a cloud platform for project controls, quality assurance, and progress tracking, sold as a managed service to mission-critical builders like data-center and pharmaceutical developers.

Job description
- This is an ON-SITE role working on a project in Temple, Texas. However, projects after this assignment may be in another location or state so some flexibility on travel/relocation in future would be beneficial.
- The position revolves around on-site Layout support, Quality Inspections and Progress Reporting for construction installations, using XYZ's Augmented Reality technology, the Atom. The Atom enables the user to view 3D BIM models as holograms/overlays through its visor, alongside the live environment around them, for absolute objectivity and efficiency.
Introduction to XYZ
XYZ Reality are the creators of the world's first and only engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution, purpose built for the construction industry. Not only have we created this holographic technology, that sits within The Atom – a smart, site-safe headset/hardhat - but we implement it on projects, utilising the power of AR to ensure that all schemes are completed in line with the delivery timescales and budgets.
XYZ has grown to over 100 staff across the UK, US & Europe and is working with Mission Critical organisations & construction companies to successfully deliver major projects.
Site / Surveying Engineer (Using Augmented Reality)
As an Engineer / Surveyor at XYZ, you'll be wearing the Atom and using it to eliminate construction and design errors on site, which would otherwise lead to costly and time-consuming rework. You'll visualise the design models in holograms through the visor and provide regular updates of potential clashes/errors in what has been, or is to be, installed by verifying what you're seeing in front of you.
Key Responsibilities
- Conducting daily site inspections using the Atom (Augmented Reality headset) to ensure works are installed/being installed correctly, as per the BIM Model.
- Using a total station to set / traverse control points
- Client communication and reporting
- Producing reports based on the inspections from that day.
- Attending meetings to coordinate with contractors to plan daily activities.
- Processing and reviewing all acquired data to ensure it is accurate and reliable.
- Reporting to the Field Operations Manager, maintaining an efficient workflow and ensuring all requested inspections are conducted within the specified time frame.
- Working with the Contractor to devise a weekly lookahead of inspections in line with the master construction programme in order to de-risk incorrect installation from taking place in the field.
- Obtaining and preparing the latest approved Revit models to export into HoloSite
