    The VR technician implements, and maintains virtual reality (VR) systems and simulations that enhance design visualisation, training, and project planning in the construction industry.
    VR Technicians play a key role in MMC by creating immersive environments that support digital construction, prefabrication, and modular building techniques. They enable virtual prototyping, improve collaboration among stakeholders, and facilitate training through interactive simulations, reducing costs and increasing efficiency in construction projects.
