An exciting opportunity to spend extended periods of time on board a light aircraft capturing remotely sensed data using a variety of instruments. This includes the collection of LIDAR and Aerial Photography data to support the delivery of our work programmes.
The survey aircraft captures LIDAR data on 24/7 basis when the weather conditions allow. Because of this a flexible shift pattern which includes alternate weekends and night work is essential.
In addition to this the successful applicants will also provide support in operational planning and data management. There may also be opportunity to work with survey data collected by Geomatics.
