Photographer, Videographer, & Jr. UAS Pilot (Drone Pilot) - Blended Role Job at

Job Opportunity

Arch Aerial LLC is seeking a highly motivated Photographer, Videographer, and Junior UAS Pilot (Drone Pilot) to create and collect both captivating content via ground photography and videography, as well as capture high utility industrial inspection data for our construction and energy service lines. This is a full-time hourly position which can expect 35-45 hours per week.

Functions & Responsibilities

This is a blended role combining ground photography and videography collection, as well as executing scheduled UAS (unmanned aerial systems) missions for Arch Aerial LLC, primarily in industrial settings. Duties and responsibilities include execution of ground-based photography and videography for our customers, editing that ground photography and videography, as well as UAS flights, data management, and data transfer. Must be familiar with multi-rotor UAS operation; fixed wing UAS operational experience is a plus. As this is an entry-level Junior UAS Pilot role, previous professional UAS Pilot experience is not required, but is highly recommended. Whether a candidate has previous professional UAS Piloting experience or not, training will be conducted by Arch Aerial on Arch Aerial piloting, process, safety, and technical skills for all new hires. Ideally, we are looking for someone who already possesses professional ground photography and videography skills, but that has an interest in and potentially experience in, drone data collection.

Workload will consist of roughly 35-45 hours of operation per week, with opportunities for overtime beyond 40 hours per week. Travel is to be expected, and candidates should understand that duties are often performed outside in Gulf Coast and Southwest climates which include hot and humid conditions. Additional opportunities for piloting work both inside and outside of the Greater Houston area will become available from time-to-time. Piloting duties will be conducted in the field, and any administrative or data technician duties require the Junior UAS Pilot to be in-office (i.e. this position is not remote).

We value experience, a strong and efficient work ethic, strong piloting skills, and integrity more than a specific educational degree.
