‘BYO Project’: similar to the above, but if you are currently working for a client or project which would require significant drone data coverage, it might be possible for you to jump the fence to work with us supplying that service. New regional managers: if you live in an area where there is likely demand for our services, we don’t already have someone nearby, and you feel confident in drumming up business in your local area, we’d love to hear from you. Bonus-bonus points if you’ve built your own fixed-wing drones, as we can have you assist with our builds too. Bonus points for any fixed-wing flying experience, as it is a large proportion of our work and tends to be a rarer skill. A degree of coordination and fine motor skills is definitely needed though, and if you don’t have at least some experience flying your own drones that does raise the question of why, if you want to work with them and they’re so affordable these days. It is certainly appreciated if people come pre-trained, but if you have the other skills covered then we’re most likely happy to train your basic skills to more advanced levels needed on the job. We get to see a lot of amazing things.įlying skills: it might surprise you to see this isn’t near the top of the list. We also expect the type of people working for us enjoy a certain amount of travel rather than it being something they put up with. So even though your classic Alpha Geek type might be able to handle the flying and data processing really well, we can’t have them in the field if they can’t look after themselves in both normal and emergency situations. Outdoors skills: we don’t expect everyone to have soloed Everest, but a lot of our projects involve remote work. Spatial skills: not necessarily a full GIS or Surveying degree, but it helps to know how to deal with spatial data, orient yourself around sites and confidently undertake flight planning around structures or complex terrain. You need to be able to deal with that kind of data in a reliable and efficient way, ensure it is never lost, and that it is processed and delivered quickly. But we do also work closely as a team, helping each other out and learning quickly as a group, so it is important to communicate well and share the things you discover so we all win from them.ĭata management: an average job produces a few gigs of data, and some jobs hundreds of gigs. Mix of team-player and lone-wolf: much of the time you’ll be working alone on project sites, which doesn’t suit people who need a lot of support or supervision. Strong sense of personal responsibility and self-motivation: given the amount of trust we place in our operators it is important that they’re the type of person who gets it done no matter what, and sees a hurdle as a puzzle to solve rather than an excuse to give up. The right mindset for details and procedures: there can be hundreds of steps involved in reliably delivering our projects, so it probably isn’t going to work out if you’re the kind of person who prefers to “just wing it”. Some scripting or coding ability is a bonus, but not required. Experience dealing with digital imagery in various ways. Technical skills: problem solving, ability to quickly self-train on new equipment and software.
