About the Job
Description
The position revolves around on-site Layout, Quality Inspections and Progress Reporting for construction installations across Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing and Civil, Structural & Architectural disciplines, using XYZ's Augmented Reality technology, the Atom.

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 also provide implementation and consultancy on the Mission Critical projects that the AR solution is being used on to ensure that all schemes are completed according to the delivery timescales and budget - that's what we're here for!
Over the last few years XYZ has grown to over 120 staff across the UK, Europe and the US and is working with prestigious, market-leading Data Center and Mission Critical organisations/construction companies to successfully deliver major projects globally.
