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

Arch Aerial LLC

Plano, TX

Full-time

Re-posted yesterday

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.

  • Primary Requirements:
    • Part 107 Remote Pilot Endorsement
    • 6 Months of Commercial Drone Piloting Experience (full time or 1099)
    • Experience flying multi-rotor UAS
  • Secondary Traits (not required but will make the candidate highly competitive)
    • TWIC Card
    • Experience with methane detection or optical gas imaging
    • Experience in the construction industry
    • Experience with photo/video editing
    • LiDAR capture / editing experience
  • Tertiary Traits (not required, and not as important as secondary traits, but may be complimentary traits)
    • 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.
    • Although candidates with the DJI M600 experience will be preferred, candidate will have the opportunity to apprentice, train for DJI M600 experience if not already held.
    • OQ Certification.
    • Methane detection and hyper-spectral payloads.
    • Cloud data management.
    • Photogrammetry.
    • LiDAR
