What is an aerial mapping?

An Aerial Mapping job involves capturing geographic data using drones, airplanes, or satellites to create detailed maps and models of landscapes, cities, and infrastructure. Professionals in this field use specialized sensors, cameras, and software to collect and process aerial imagery for applications in urban planning, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and more. This role often requires skills in GIS (Geographic Information Systems), remote sensing, and data analysis to interpret and present spatial information accurately.

What does an aerial mapping do?

Aerial mapping professionals spend their days planning and executing data collection missions using drones or aircraft, processing collected imagery, and translating raw data into detailed maps or GIS datasets. They often collaborate with surveyors, engineers, and environmental scientists to meet project goals, analyzing and interpreting spatial information to support various industries. The role also involves ensuring equipment is properly maintained, adhering to safety protocols, and staying current with evolving geospatial technologies. Teamwork and adaptability are key as projects can range from urban planning to agricultural assessments, often requiring work both in the field and in an office setting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in aerial mapping, and why are they important?

Success in Aerial Mapping requires expertise in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, cartography, and a solid understanding of surveying principles, often backed by a degree in geography, geomatics, or a related field. Familiarity with GIS software, drone operation, GPS systems, and sometimes FAA drone pilot certification are important technical assets. Exceptional attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills in this field. These skills ensure data accuracy, safe operation of technology, and collaborative project delivery in diverse terrain and environmental conditions.

About Smart Infratech

We are a leading AI solutions provider driven by the power of artificial intelligence and human expertise. Since our establishment in 2021, our mission has been to transform businesses through innovative AI-driven solutions. We have developed a strong foundation in AI technology and are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Our vision is simple: “To transform the world by making civil infrastructure more intelligent.”

The Opportunity

We are looking for a GIS & Drone Mapping Specialist to join our growing technology team. You will work at the intersection of GIS + Drones.

You will collect and process aerial data, manage GIS datasets, create interactive maps, and help integrate drone, survey, engineering data.

What You’ll Do

· Manage, clean, analyze, and maintain GIS datasets for infrastructure and construction projects.

· Create professional maps, exhibits, dashboards, and web maps using ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise.

· Work with shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML/KMZ, geodatabases, CAD, survey, and raster data.

· Ensure spatial accuracy, coordinate systems, georeferencing, and data quality.

· Operate drones/UAVs for aerial mapping, construction monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and site documentation.

· Plan and execute drone missions and collect high-resolution imagery.

· Process imagery into orthomosaics, point clouds, DEMs, DSMs, and 3D models.

· Integrate drone data with GIS, CAD, Civil 3D, BIM, and project applications.

· Support construction progress, asset mapping, inspections, change detection, and site analysis.

What We’re Looking For

· Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Geography, Geomatics, Surveying, Civil Engineering, or related field.

· 3+ years of GIS/geospatial experience.

· 2+ years of hands-on drone/UAV experience.

· 2+ years of ArcGIS Pro experience.

· Experience with aerial imagery and drone mapping/photogrammetry.

· Strong understanding of coordinate systems, projections, georeferencing, and spatial data accuracy.

· Experience working with GIS, CAD, survey, or engineering data.

· Experience in construction, transportation, infrastructure, surveying, geotechnical, water, or environmental projects.

· Experience with DJI Terra, Pix4D, DroneDeploy, Metashape, or similar platforms.

· AutoCAD / Civil 3D experience.

· ArcGIS Online / Enterprise experience.

· Experience with Power BI, ArcGIS Dashboards, Python, SQL, or web GIS.

· Commercial/professional drone pilot certification or authorization, where applicable.

Technical Skills

ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Online/Enterprise | Drone/UAV Operations | Photogrammetry | Aerial Imagery | AutoCAD/Civil 3D | GIS Data | Orthomosaics | Point Clouds | DEM/DSM | Web GIS

What Makes This Role Different?

You won’t just be creating maps.

You’ll help turn real-world infrastructure into intelligent digital information.

Your work may start with a drone flying over a construction site and end with that data becoming part of a GIS platform, dashboard, digital twin, or infrastructure monitoring application.

If you’re excited about GIS, drones, infrastructure, and emerging technology, we’d like to hear from you.

Benefits

· Flexible schedule

· Work with GIS, UAV technologies

· Collaborate with engineers, developers, surveyors, and technology teams.

Experience:

  • ArcGIS Pro: 3 years (Required)
  • AutoCAD / Civil 3D: 3 years (Preferred)
  • GeoJSON, shapefiles, KML/KMZ: 3 years (Preferred)
  • Power BI or GIS dashboards: 3 years (Preferred)
