Drone Pilot - GIS​/Mapping

Operate drones for geospatial mapping, LiDAR data collection,photogrammetry, and GIS surveys. Process aerial data into accurate maps, 3D models, and georeferenced deliverables for engineering and surveying projects.

As a Drone Pilot with GIS/Mapping expertise at LNM
1968, you'llconduct UAV operations for topographic surveys, construction site monitoring, photogrammetry missions, and LiDAR data acquisition.

You'll plan flight missions using industry-standard software,collect high-accuracy geospatial data, and process imagery intoorthomosaics, DEMs, point clouds, and other GIS deliverables.

This position requires FAA Part 107 certification, strongGIS/mapping knowledge, experience with photogrammetry software(Pix4D, Drone Deploy, Agisoft Metashape), and the ability to deliver survey-grade data for engineering, construction, and government projects.
