Driver / Data Collector in Bielefeld, Germany

Kurz zusammengefasst

Terry Soot Management Group (TSMG) is a European‑based field data collection firm founded in 2017. The company supplies detailed visual and audio information for clients that cannot rely on fully automated solutions, operating teams throughout Europe and North America. The opening is for a Driver / Data Collector based in Bielefeld, Germany, who will support a project that gathers street‑level imagery for one of the world's most widely used online mapping services. The daily work involves operating a vehicle fitted with removable 360° cameras and lidar sensors, following pre‑planned routes that cover public roads, commercial districts and notable landmarks. While driving, the employee records high‑resolution photos, video and other sensor data, which are saved on an onboard SSD. If weather conditions affect image quality, the driver may need to revisit specific sections to capture clearer footage. The assignment typically lasts between three and six months, with a full‑time schedule of 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 7 pm, and occasional weekend work when required. Candidates must be able to pass a safety driving assessment and demonstrate a dependable, responsible attitude. They should possess solid knowledge of the local area and traffic trends, ensuring efficient navigation of the assigned routes. Availability for the stated full‑time hours, including potential weekend shifts, is essential. The recruitment process includes the driving test, a recruiter interview and an onboarding phase. The role offers the chance to work with cutting‑edge mapping equipment in a collaborative, pan‑European environment. While no specific language or certification is mandated, an enthusiasm for driving and a willingness to adapt to weather‑related schedule changes are valued. The project's temporary nature provides exposure to large‑scale data collection efforts and may serve as a stepping stone to further assignments within TSMG's expanding network. What the role asks for: - Pass safety driving test - Reliable and responsible work ethic - Familiarity with local traffic patterns - Availability for full‑time 8 am‑7 pm schedule - Willingness to work weekends if needed (nice‑to‑have)
