Jobbeschreibung

We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled UAS Drone Pilot to join our team for operations across various sectors, including but not limited to surveying, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. As a Drone Pilot, you will be responsible for the safe and efficient execution of complex drone missions, managing the technical aspects of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and adhering to strict regulatory standards in diverse European airspaces.

This position requires a deep technical understanding of drone technology, flight planning, regulatory compliance, and risk management, with a focus on precision operations in both urban and rural environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan, coordinate, and execute complex drone missions in accordance with operational goals, ensuring optimal flight safety and data quality.
• Perform manual and autonomous flight operations using a variety of drone systems (e.g., multirotors, fixed-wing, hybrid), including the latest models in surveying, inspection, and mapping.
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate drone capabilities with other technologies (e.g., LiDAR, thermal imaging, photogrammetry, GIS mapping tools).
• Ensure all drone operations comply with European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations and local laws of operation across different European countries.
• Oversee the collection of high-resolution aerial data (e.g., images, video, 3D models, thermal imagery) during flight missions.
• Ensure proper storage and security of data collected during flights, complying with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR).
• Perform basic post-processing tasks (e.g., georeferencing, stitching, creating flight logs) and work with external software platforms (e.g., Pix4D, DroneDeploy, Agisoft).
• Conduct pre-flight equipment checks, including batteries, sensors, camera systems, and communication links.
• Provide comprehensive mission reports, including flight logs, data analysis, and actionable insights for clients.

Qualifications:

• EASA-approved drone pilot license (A1/A3, A2, or equivalent).
• Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) or other relevant European aviation certifications.
• Minimum 3 years of professional drone piloting experience in complex operations.
• Extensive experience with drone platforms such as DJI Matrice, Phantom, Inspire, or custom-built UAS.
• Proven track record of flying drones for commercial applications in sectors like surveying, mapping, infrastructure inspection, or agriculture.
• Experience in working within restricted airspace and coordinating with aviation authorities (ATC).
• Strong knowledge of geospatial software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, Pix4D, Agisoft) and drone flight management tools (e.g., DJI Terra, Litchi).
• Expertise in flying drones in diverse environments (urban, rural, industrial, hazardous).
• Strong knowledge of drone flight systems, payloads (e.g., LiDAR, RGB cameras, multispectral sensors), and sensor calibration.
• Familiarity with international regulations regarding drone operations, especially in the European Union.
• Problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues in the field.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for mission planning, data management, and safety protocols.

Preferred Qualifications:

• High proficiency in data post-processing techniques and software tools (e.g., photogrammetry, georeferencing).
• A degree or diploma in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Aviation, Geomatics, Engineering, or a related field is highly preferred.
• First Aid Certification
• Willingness to travel frequently across Europe for client projects and site-specific operations.

We would be happy to get to know you and your skills better and see how we can support each other's growth.
