How much do photogrammetry remote sensing jobs pay per hour?

As of Jun 3, 2026, the average hourly pay for photogrammetry remote sensing in the United States is $32.69, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $30.77 and $34.62 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Photogrammetry Remote Sensing Specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Photogrammetry Remote Sensing Specialist, you need a solid background in geospatial science, image analysis, and GIS, typically supported by a relevant degree in geography, geomatics, or remote sensing. Proficiency with specialized software like ERDAS Imagine, ENVI, and ArcGIS, as well as familiarity with drone or satellite data acquisition, is essential. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities help in interpreting data and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are vital for transforming raw imagery into actionable insights for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and resource management.

What are some common challenges faced in a Photogrammetry Remote Sensing role and how can I prepare for them?

Professionals in Photogrammetry Remote Sensing often encounter challenges related to data quality, processing large datasets, and integrating diverse sensor outputs. Staying up-to-date with the latest software and processing techniques is critical, as is developing strong analytical skills to interpret complex spatial data. Collaboration with GIS specialists, surveyors, and project managers is common, so effective communication and teamwork are also key to overcoming project hurdles and delivering accurate results.

What are photogrammetry and remote sensing?

Photogrammetry and remote sensing are techniques used to obtain information about objects or areas from a distance, typically using aerial or satellite imagery. Photogrammetry focuses on measuring and interpreting photographic images to create maps, 3D models, or extract spatial data. Remote sensing refers to the broader process of collecting data about the Earth's surface without physical contact, often using sensors on aircraft or satellites to analyze land use, vegetation, and environmental changes. Both fields are essential in geography, environmental science, urban planning, and resource management.

What is the difference between Photogrammetry Remote Sensing vs GIS Analyst?

AspectPhotogrammetry Remote SensingGIS Analyst
Required CredentialsDegree in Geomatics, Remote Sensing, or related fields; certifications in GIS or remote sensing softwareDegree in Geography, GIS, or related fields; certifications in GIS software
Work EnvironmentField data collection, aerial and satellite image analysis, software processingData analysis, map creation, spatial data management in office settings
Industry UsageMapping, environmental monitoring, urban planningUrban planning, transportation, resource management

While both roles involve spatial data, Photogrammetry Remote Sensing focuses on acquiring and analyzing aerial and satellite imagery, often involving fieldwork and specialized software. GIS Analysts primarily manage and analyze spatial data within GIS platforms for various planning and analysis purposes. Understanding these differences helps professionals choose the right career path or job focus within geospatial industries.

Position Information

The Senior Research Associate will lead the acquisition, processing, and analysis of high-resolution agricultural data using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced sensing technologies. This role supports ongoing cotton research in two key areas: (1) high-throughput phenotyping to improve varietal performance under heat and water stress, and (2) in-season crop monitoring to inform and optimize management decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Collect multispectral and hyperspectral imagery using UAV for vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE, etc.), chlorophyll, canopy structure, soil variability, and water stress analysis.

  • Process raw imagery using photogrammetry and GIS software to generate orthomosaics and vegetation maps.

  • Manage geospatial data and integrate UAV and other sensor-derived datasets with ground-based observations and crop models.

  • Work with crop modelers and data scientists to integrate UAV-based analytics into precision agriculture workflows.

  • Performs other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Remote Sensing, Geospatial Science, or related field. Four years of experience in agricultural remote sensing and UAV flight operations. Or, a master's degree in Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Remote Sensing, Geospatial Science, or a related field. Two years of experience in agricultural remote sensing and UAV flight operations.

  • Proficiency with photogrammetry and GIS software (e.g., Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, ArcGIS, QGIS).

  • Strong data analysis skills using Python, R, or similar analytical tools.

  • Excellent organizational and communication skills.

  • Ability to multitask and work cooperatively with others.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with multispectral and thermal imagery applications in crop monitoring.

  • Knowledge of agricultural management practices, crop phenology, and environmental monitoring.

Other Requirements:

  • Fieldwork under varying weather conditions.

  • Travel to research sites or grower fields.

  • Manual handling of moderate-weight UAV equipment (up to ~25 lbs.).
