Drone Data Processing Technician

Job description

We are seeking a Drone Data Processing Technician to bridge the gap between raw aerial data collection and final engineering deliverables. In this pivotal role, you will transform raw drone imagery, LiDAR, and SLAM data into highly accurate, client-ready survey models. You will clean datasets, extract critical physical features, and organize spatial data to empower our downstream drafting team.

WE WILL REQUEST A VOICE NOTE FOR THE SCREENING PROCESS.

ADVANCED ENGLISH REQUIRED FOR THE POSITION.

Job requirements

Responsibilities

• Data Processing: Convert raw drone imagery and LiDAR/SLAM data into georeferenced point clouds and photogrammetric models.
