Jr. Drone Pilot (Jr. Unmanned Aerial Systems Pilot) - Houston Region

Arch Aerial LLC

Houston, TX • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 19 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 Greater Houston area will become available from time-to-time. Opportunities may become available for training as a Junior Data Technician as well. 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.
Requirements
  • Part 107 UAS Remote Pilot Endorsement
  • Strong organizational skills.
  • Must be able to utilize a variety of computer applications including MS Office, and other on-line cloud storage and data transfer tools like Dropbox.
  • Must have a safety-oriented attitude on and off-site.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to effectively communicate with all levels of management, staff, customers, and industry.

Highly recommended, but not required:
  • 1 Year of Commercial UAS Piloting Experience (at minimum)
  • Adobe Suite Experience
  • Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
  • Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

Benefits
There are no benefits offered with this position immediately, but the candidate may be eligible for future benefits programs enrollment pursuant to applicable probation periods.
