About the role

Drone Surveying is looking for an experienced and GVC-qualified Drone Pilot based in the Cambridge area to join our growing operational team.

Are you a skilled drone pilot ready to take your career to new heights? We have an exciting opportunity for an Experienced Drone Pilot to join our rapidly growing team in the commercial drone industry. This is your chance to become part of an innovative and cutting-edge organisation, delivering critical drone services across the UK.

The role will involve substantial travel throughout South East England and occasionally beyond and may involve overnight stays in remote locations.

We are seeking a skilled and licensed Drone Pilot to conduct aerial surveys and inspections on building sites. The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in capturing accurate data and imagery to assist with construction planning and progress monitoring. This role demands technical expertise, operational precision, and a passion for emerging technologies in the drone industry.

Key responsibilities

Plan and conduct safe, efficient aerial surveys on active construction sites.
Capture accurate and consistent data for progress monitoring, topographical surveys, volumetric measurement and other construction-related applications.
Operate enterprise DJI aircraft, RTK equipment and GNSS rovers.
Establish and record ground control accurately where required.
Complete site-specific flight planning, risk assessments and operational records.
Identify airspace, environmental and site-specific hazards and implement appropriate mitigations.
Support applications and coordination for operations within restricted or controlled airspace.
Liaise professionally with site managers, clients, landowners and members of the public.
Capture clear inspection imagery, progress photography and video when required.
Maintain, inspect, troubleshoot and calibrate aircraft, cameras and associated survey equipment.
Manage batteries, storage media and field equipment to maintain operational readiness.

A basic understanding of photography and camera settings.
The ability to work independently and manage a varied field schedule.
A reliable home broadband connection suitable for transferring large survey datasets.
The flexibility to travel, start early and stay away from home when required.

This is a physically active outdoor role. Applicants must be comfortable carrying equipment, walking across uneven construction sites and working outside in varied conditions, within safe operational and aircraft limitations.
