This role provides valuable real-world training for those interested in a career in unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

What types of projects or tasks can an internship Part 107 pilot expect to work on during their internship?

As an Internship Part 107 Pilot, you can expect to be involved in a variety of drone operations, such as aerial photography, mapping, surveying, and inspections for industries like construction, agriculture, or real estate. Interns often assist with flight planning, pre-flight checklists, data collection, and post-flight data processing. You'll likely collaborate with experienced pilots, project managers, and technical teams to ensure flights are conducted safely and in compliance with FAA regulations. This role provides hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment and software, setting a strong foundation for a future career in commercial drone operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an internship Part 107 pilot, and why are they important?

To succeed as an Internship Part 107 Pilot, you need a solid understanding of FAA regulations, basic aeronautical knowledge, and a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate.

Arch Aerial LLC

Plano, TX • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 4 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.

    • 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.
