The posting

Our client is an international consulting firm, subsidiary to a global mining company. They are seeking a Payload Operator, responsible for field operation, readiness and first-pass data quality control of geophysical and remote-sensing payloads deployed on UAV survey platforms.

The role covers magnetic, radiometric, gravimetric, LiDAR, hyperspectral, GNSS/base station and supporting survey systems across both heavy hybrid unmanned helicopter and light hybrid multirotor operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare, configure and operate geophysical and remote-sensing payloads before, during and after UAV survey missions.
  • Check payload power, cabling, mounting, storage, GNSS, timing/PPS, base stations, metadata and health status before each flight.
  • Support payload installation, calibration, warm-up, stabilization, functional checks and post-flight shutdown procedures.
  • Monitor payload status during missions and coordinate with the Pilot and GCS Operator on alarms, data gaps, line repeats or re-flights.
  • Download, organize, name, back up and hand over payload data, flight metadata, GNSS/base station files and field logs daily.
  • Perform first-pass QA/QC to confirm data completeness, time synchronization, coverage, altitude consistency and obvious acquisition issues.
  • Maintain payload inventory, consumables, cables, mounts, storage media, field computers and sensor condition records.

Key Qualifications

  • 3-5+ years of geophysics, UAV payload operations, geomatics, remote sensing, LiDAR, hyperspectral, survey data acquisition or field data management experience preferred.
  • Practical experience with magnetic, radiometric, gravity, LiDAR, hyperspectral, GNSS/base station or similar survey systems is preferred.
  • Strong data discipline: naming, logs, backups, metadata, daily QA/QC and handover control.
  • Ability to troubleshoot sensors, cabling, GNSS/time sync, data storage, software and field-computer issues.
  • Understanding of survey-line execution, acquisition parameters and data-quality implications is preferred.
  • Comfortable working with pilots, GCS operators, technicians and geophysicists in remote field conditions.

Travel / Work Model

  • Frequent field travel for survey campaigns, testing, payload integration and client projects.
  • Flexible field schedule during active acquisition and data handover periods.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
