Meet Kipp Ivey, a Product Specialist at Trimble focusing on Mechanical trades within the AEC Segment. His unique career path began 40 years ago with a foundation in the skilled trades—completing a sheet metal apprenticeship and rising from journeyman to executive management, including time as a SMACNA contractor. Complemented by studies in mechanical engineering and computer science, this deep industry grounding informs his work in construction technology over the past two decades.

This blend of hands-on understanding and technological expertise gives Kipp a distinct perspective on real-world challenges and opportunities. He has contributed his expertise to companies like Quickpen International, Trimble MEP, FARO, and has now returned to Trimble.

Today, Kipp specializes in helping professionals leverage cutting-edge solutions, including 3D reality capture, Scan-to-BIM workflows, digital twins, data democratization, and robotics.
