About the Role
We are seeking a dedicated individual to join our UK-based team, primarily to pilot our fleet of UAVs for diverse operations across the country. As part of our dynamic team, you will be traveling throughout the UK, gathering essential data for tasks such as mapping, inspections, and advanced surveying.
Ideal candidates should possess the following technical capabilities and experience:
-
Previous UK Commercial Drone Experience: Familiarity with the CAA regulations and UK-specific airspace rules are essential.
-
Advanced Photogrammetry Skills: The ability to create detailed orthomosaic maps, terrain models, and utilise structure-based photogrammetry for generating 3D models and point cloud data.
-
High-Resolution Inspections: Experience in using drones for detailed structural inspections, ensuring accuracy and quality in data capture. We also use live link technology so our clients can direct us from their offices when we are on-site – knowledge of this would also be beneficial.
-
Lidar Proficiency: Competence in using Lidar with UAVs to produce detailed DTM and vegetation reports, reflecting an understanding of the intricacies of this technology.
-
Ground Control Mastery: Knowledge of setting up and calibrating ground control points to ensure accurate georeferencing in drone captures.
-
Software and Data Processing: Familiarity with popular drone mapping software such as Pix4D, WebODM, DJI Terra, Terra Solid or similar platforms used in processing drone-captured data.
While previous and specific experience is advantageous, we believe in nurturing talent. As such, we offer robust in-house training for the right individual. If you possess a proactive attitude, have foundational drone experience, understand the core concepts, and are confident in navigating various challenges, we encourage you to apply. Remember, in this ever-evolving field, adaptability and a keen desire to learn are just as valuable as experience.
