A Remote Drone job involves operating drones to perform various tasks such as aerial photography, surveillance, mapping, or delivery. Remote drone operators control drones from a distance, often using GPS and specialized software. These roles are common in industries like agriculture, construction, defense, and logistics. Operators must follow aviation regulations and may require certification depending on the location and industry.
To thrive as a Remote Drone Operator, you need strong skills in piloting drones, spatial awareness, and knowledge of aviation regulations, typically supported by an FAA Part 107 certification or equivalent. Familiarity with remote piloting software, mapping tools, GPS systems, and data analysis platforms is commonly required. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication set outstanding candidates apart. These skills ensure safe and accurate drone operation, effective data collection, and reliable teamwork in diverse environments.
Remote Drone Operators often encounter challenges such as managing flight operations in diverse weather conditions, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations, and troubleshooting technical issues with equipment or software. Coordinating with onsite teams and clients to meet project objectives while maintaining safety and privacy standards is another common aspect of this role. Adapting quickly to different environments and project requirements helps operators succeed, and ongoing skill development keeps them competitive in this rapidly advancing field. Employers typically provide support and training, but a proactive approach to problem-solving and communication is highly valued.

Position Overview
If you're someone who enjoys focused, independent work and prefers a role where you can be self-directed, this position may be a great fit for you. Candidates with experience in mapping, property appraisal, inspections, GIS, data collection, data entry, land surveying, or any outdoor, detail-oriented fieldwork tend to excel here. If you're comfortable on ladders (up to 30 feet), appreciate technology, and enjoy working solo, keep reading.
Competitive Pay
$24-$27/hour (based on experience and location), plus:
Monthly performance bonuses up to $1,000/month
Meal allowances
Paid training
Travel reimbursements
Travel With Independence
This is a 100% travel role. Most, but not all travel is regional, and you can expect to be home most weekends. All major travel expenses-lodging, fuel, meals, and mileage-are fully covered.
Tools Fully Provided
You'll receive all the equipment you need, from advanced tech devices to measurement tools. We set you up so you can work efficiently on your own.
Benefits That Matter
Paid Time Off (moves up to 3 weeks after your first year)
Immediate 401(k) vesting with company match
Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (company contributes to premiums)
Life, accident, illness, and disability insurance options
Discounted pet insurance
What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone who enjoys structured, independent work. You will have a lot of autonomy in this role with the ability to set up a lot of your daily schedule. You'll succeed if you can:
What Your Day Looks Like
You'll independently drive or fly to commercial properties-like shopping centers, warehouses, or office parks-to capture precise data. This includes using 3D cameras, laser measurement tools, and specialized software to document:
Most of your time is spent gathering data, taking measurements, and then inputting data while ensuring accuracy. Communication with property managers to gather access information is necessary for appointments and arrival times. Overall, while communication is minimal, you must be comfortable assertively and proactively reaching out to your Regional Manager as well as asking questions to trainers, mentors, and peers. Communication happens remotely and is typically brief and professional but must be clear.
You'll Be a Great Fit If You Have Experience In:
Site surveys, inspections, CAD, or GIS mapping, and data entry
Construction, HVAC, electrical, or similar hands-on fields
Land surveying, utility locating, archaeology, drone photography, or other remote fieldwork
Veterans are welcome!
Why This Role Stands Out
If you enjoy traveling, working quietly and independently, and using technology to help support solving problems, this role offers a unique blend of autonomy, routine, and adventure. You'll explore new locations, build technical skills, and create accurate property data that drives decision-making in the commercial real estate industry.
As part of our commitment to employee development, you'll also have the opportunity to receive company-sponsored drone training and earn your FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification. We'll provide the training, cover the certification costs, and supply the equipment-giving you the opportunity to expand your skills with cutting-edge technology while growing your career.
There is room for growth, mentoring others, and even movement within other departments if you've demonstrated success in the field.
