Drone Pilot Position

Key Responsibilities

We are continually looking for reliable drone operators to partner with TraceAir Technologies as flight mission contractors. Our visual collaboration platform helps homebuilders, developers, and contractors see and measure work progress at their construction sites without leaving the office.

Our flight missions are easy to accomplish and do not require any post-flight processing on the pilot's side. All the pilot needs to do is get to the site on time, fly the drone following the flight protocol, and upload images to the server right after the flight. We offer predictable and repeatable work, easy to follow flight protocols, and flexible terms of payment.

Experience:

• Area mapping experience
• FAA Part 107 Certification
• Deep experience with software like Drone Deploy and/or Ground Station
• Experience operating RTK-capable drones (preferred), ideally with access to an RTK base station such as an Emlid Reach RS3 / RS2(+) or similar
• At least 4 batteries + portable charging station
• Liability Insurance (min $1M coverage)
• Ability to get to a site weekly on the same day to accomplish the mission
• Accuracy, reliability, punctuality, clear communication, and attention to details

Preferred Drone Equipment:

• DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (M3E) RTK
• DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral (M3M) RTK
• DJI Matrice 4E
• DJI Matrice 300 / Matrice 350 RTK
• DJI Phantom 4 RTK
• Wingtra
