We are looking for an experienced Commercial UAV Pilot to support field operations on projects throughout the U.S. This is a hands-on flying position with significant time in the field.

  • Operate DJI Mavic Series aircraft and other enterprise/heavy-lift UAV platforms.
  • Complete daily flight planning, airspace checks, weather assessments, and equipment inspections.
  • Work around utilities, transmission corridors, construction sites, and remote terrain.
  • Coordinate with field crews and project managers to safely complete daily production goals.
  • Maintain flight logs and required field documentation.
  • Troubleshoot basic aircraft, controller, GNSS, and field equipment issues.
  • Take care of company equipment and keep aircraft mission-ready.
  • Follow FAA regulations, project requirements, and site-specific safety procedures.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate
  • 50+ documented commercial UAV flight hours
  • Commercial experience with DJI Mavic Series UAVs
  • Strong understanding of airspace, weather, flight planning, and FAA Part 107 operations
  • Valid driver's license
  • Willingness to travel and work extended field rotations
  • Able to work independently and make good decisions in the field

Strongly Preferred:

  • 100+ documented commercial UAV flight hours
  • OSHA 30
  • Experience with enterprise/heavy-lift UAV platforms
  • Utility or transmission-line inspection experience
  • UAV LiDAR or photogrammetry/mapping experience
  • RTK/PPK experience
  • Experience operating in remote or challenging terrain
  • Experience working around active utility, construction, or infrastructure projects

Pay & Travel

$325–$400 per day depending on experience, plus per diem.

Travel and field rotations will vary depending on the project. This position is best suited for pilots who are comfortable spending significant time on the road and want consistent commercial field experience. Residence in Denver is not required, and convenient access to a major airport is beneficial to the position.
