Full Job Description

Location: Manhattan, KS (field sites across northeast Kansas)

Job Type: Seasonal, Full-time hours during spray season (roughly 6–10 weeks, summer 2026) Pay: $20-$25 per hour

Schedule: Weather-driven split shifts — early morning and evening spray windows. Long days when conditions are right, short days when they're not.

About the Job

Ag Intellect is a precision agronomy and drone application company flying multiple DJI Agras spray drones across northeast Kansas row crops and pasture. We're founded and run by an FAA ATP-rated airline pilot — which means we run drone operations like a flight department: checklists, briefings, maintenance logs, and no cowboy flying.

We need a pilot for our busy season: fungicide passes, pasture spraying, and precision application work. You'll fly as pilot-in-command of our Agras fleet with a trained ground crew handling mixing, loading, and battery swaps so you can stay focused on the mission.

What You'll Do

Fly DJI Agras spray drones as PIC under our Part 137 operation
Plan missions: field mapping, obstacle survey, swath planning, buffer zones
Conduct pre-flight briefings and inspections with ground crew
Monitor weather, wind, and inversion conditions and make go/no-go calls
Maintain flight logs, application records, and equipment condition reports
Communicate professionally with farmer clients at field sites
Assist with drone maintenance, firmware, and calibration

Requirements

FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate (current) — non-negotiable
Valid driver's license with clean record; comfortable pulling a trailer to field sites
Strong weather judgment and disciplined go/no-go decision-making
Able to work weather-driven hours: early mornings, evenings, weekends
Physically able to assist ground operations (lift 50 lbs, work outdoors in heat)
Detail-oriented with logs and records — our reputation rides on clean documentation

Strongly Preferred

DJI Agras experience (T-30/T-40/T-50 or similar) or other ag spray drone time
Agricultural background — you know what a spray window is and why the wind matters
Manned aviation experience or student pilots welcome — we speak your language here

Why Fly With Us

Fly modern equipment with real ground support — you fly, the crew loads
Aviation-grade safety culture, run by an airline captain and CFI
Per-acre bonus structure: when we're busy and you're efficient, you earn more
Short seasonal commitment with strong potential to grow into a year-round role as we scale
Great logbook line for anyone building a career in ag aviation or UAS operations

To apply: Send your resume with your Part 107 certificate number and a summary of your drone experience (aircraft flown, approximate hours, and any ag application work). Strong candidates hear back within 48 hours.

Pay: $20.00 - $25.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
