What is an Aerial Photogrammetry job?

An Aerial Photogrammetry job involves capturing and analyzing aerial images to create maps, 3D models, and measurements of terrain, structures, or landscapes. Professionals in this field use drones, aircraft, or satellites equipped with cameras and sensors to gather geospatial data. They process and interpret the imagery using specialized software to support industries like surveying, construction, agriculture, and urban planning. The role requires expertise in remote sensing, GIS applications, and data analysis to ensure accurate and useful results.

What are some common challenges faced in aerial photogrammetry roles?

In aerial photogrammetry roles, professionals often encounter challenges related to variable weather conditions, site accessibility, and ensuring high data accuracy during image capture and processing. Handling and calibrating drones or other aerial equipment safely and efficiently is also a key concern, as is managing large datasets and troubleshooting software issues. Collaboration with surveyors, GIS specialists, and project managers is essential for integrating aerial data into broader mapping or engineering projects. Overcoming these challenges requires a combination of technical expertise, attention to detail, and effective communication with the team.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Aerial Photogrammetry position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Aerial Photogrammetry, you need strong skills in geospatial analysis, image interpretation, and a solid background in geography, surveying, or a related field. Familiarity with specialized software such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems), photogrammetric processing tools (e.g., Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape), and drone operation certifications are typically required. Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong teamwork and communication skills help professionals excel in collaborative project environments. These competencies are crucial to ensure the accurate collection, processing, and interpretation of aerial data for mapping, surveying, and analysis projects.

Plano, TX

Full-time

Posted 17 days ago

Job description

Arch Aerial LLC is seeking a highly motivated Junior UAS Pilot (Drone Pilot) to create and collect both captivating content and high utility industrial inspection data (for our construction and energy service lines). This is a full time hourly position which can expect 35-45 hours per week.



Functions & Responsibilities

Execute scheduled UAS (unmanned aerial systems) missions for Arch Aerial LLC, primarily in industrial settings. Duties and responsibilities include execution of UAS flights, data management, and data transfer. Must be familiar with multi-rotor UAS operation; fixed wing UAS operational experience is a plus. As this is an entry level Junior UAS Pilot role, previous professional UAS Pilot experience is not required, but is highly recommended. Whether a candidate has previous professional UAS Piloting experience or not, training will be conducted by Arch Aerial on Arch Aerial piloting, process, safety, and technical skills for all new hires.


Workload will consist of roughly 35 - 45 hours of operation per week, with opportunities for overtime beyond 40 hours per week. Travel is to be expected, and candidates should understand that duties are often performed outside in Gulf Coast and Southwest climates which include hot and humid conditions. Additional opportunities for piloting work both inside and outside of the DFW area will become available from time-to-time. Piloting duties will be conducted in the field, and any administrative or data technician duties require the Junior UAS Pilot to be in-office (i.e. this position is not remote).


We value (i) experience, (ii) a strong and efficient work ethic, and (iii) strong piloting skills, and (iv) integrity more than a specific educational degree.

    • TWIC Card
    • Experience with methane detection or optical gas imaging
    • Experience in the construction industry
    • Experience with photo/video editing
    • LiDAR capture / editing experience
  • Tertiary Traits (not required, and not as important as secondary traits, but may be complimentary traits)
    • DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise or Mavic 4 Enterprise Experience
    • DJI M300/M350/M400 Experience
  • Training Opportunities
    • Although candidates with the Part 107 Remote Pilot Endorsement will be preferred, candidate will have the opportunity to apprentice, train, and test for the Part 107 UAS Remote Pilot Endorsement if not already held.
    • Although candidates with the DJI M600 experience will be preferred, candidate will have the opportunity to apprentice, train for DJI M600 experience if not already held.
