Drone Pilot / Agricultural Drone Operator (UAV / UAS)

ANYWHERE IN THE US

Precision Agriculture | Part 107 Preferred
DMR Technologies is recruiting drone pilots and aspiring agricultural drone operators to join the rapidly growing precision agriculture drone industry.

Through our Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) program, operators launch their drone operation using DMR-provided spray drones, training, and operational support—without the large upfront equipment investment.

Why This Opportunity Exists

  • Over 350 million acres are sprayed annually in the U.S.
  • Agricultural drones represent a $500M–$1.4B emerging services market
  • Fewer than 1,000 licensed agricultural drone operators currently exist
Demand for drone crop spraying and precision agriculture services continues to grow nationwide.
What You’ll Do
Operate advanced agricultural spray drones (UAV / UAS) to support modern farming operations:

  • Fly precision agriculture spray drones
  • Apply crop protection products
  • Perform GPS-guided crop spraying
  • Maintain flight logs and follow FAA drone safety regulations
Your work helps farmers reduce chemical use, increase yields, and modernize agriculture.
Earnings Potential Typical operator performance:

  • 120 spray days per year
  • 100 acres per day
  • 12,000 acres annually
Average service pricing: ~$15 per acre
Potential operator revenue: ~$180,000 per year
Preferred Qualifications

  • Interest in drones, aviation, or agriculture
  • Experience with UAV / UAS flight operations
  • FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification (preferred)
  • FAA Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operator certification (helpful but not required)
  • Agriculture or farming background a plus
