This position combines field operations with advanced office processing and analysis. The successful candidate will assist with UAV data collection, GNSS processing, LiDAR point cloud classification, aerial photogrammetry, and the production of survey-grade mapping products for engineering, land development, transportation, municipal, and industrial projects.

Perform point cloud classification and quality control to produce survey-grade deliverables.
Generate digital terrain models, contours, orthomosaics, digital surface models, and other geospatial products.
Coordinate with Professional Land Surveyors and engineers to ensure deliverables meet project accuracy requirements.
Maintain UAV equipment, sensors, GNSS equipment, and related field technology.
Assist with the research, implementation, and evaluation of emerging UAV and geospatial technologies

Required Qualifications

Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in surveying, geomatics, GIS, engineering technology, geography, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional experience.

Ability to work both outdoors in field environments and indoors performing detailed, computer-intensive data processing.
Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record.
Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening and background check.
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, or the ability to obtain the certificate within 90 days of employment. RJA Engineering will provide company-paid training and examination support.
Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions, walk over uneven terrain, and safely lift, carry, and transport field equipment weighing up to approximately 40 pounds.

Current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate.
Experience operating UAVs equipped with LiDAR and/or photogrammetry sensors.
Experience with LP360.
Experience processing LiDAR point clouds.
Experience with Trimble Business Center, Carlson GNSS, or similar GNSS-processing software.
Familiarity with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Carlson Survey, ArcGIS Pro, or QGIS.
Experience establishing and processing survey-grade GPS/GNSS control.
Knowledge of coordinate systems, geodesy, datums, and survey control networks.
Experience with reality capture, laser scanning, or terrestrial LiDAR.
Surveying, civil engineering, or GIS experience.

Training and Development

RJA Engineering will consider both experienced geospatial professionals and technically capable candidates who demonstrate the aptitude and commitment to develop expertise in UAV, GNSS, LiDAR, and photogrammetry workflows.
Company-paid training, certifications, equipment, and software will be provided based on the candidate’s experience and development needs.
