The role

We're hiring a CAAS-licensed Drone Pilot to fly our façade and confined-space inspection missions — capturing high-quality visual, thermal and LiDAR data that our engineers turn into inspection reports. You'll fly high-rise façades and pilot collision-tolerant drones inside tanks and vessels, all within full CAAS and WSH compliance.

Key responsibilities

- Operate inspection drones for building façade inspections — 100% visual capture (4K + thermal) following BCA TR78 methodology.

- Pilot collision-tolerant drones (e.g. Flyability Elios 3) for confined-space inspections inside tanks, vessels, boilers and silos — no man-entry.

- Plan and execute missions: site recce, flight-path planning, pre/post-flight checks, battery and equipment management.

- Apply for and operate within CAAS Activity Permits, airspace rules and no-fly zones.

- Capture complete, high-quality imagery/LiDAR; offload and hand over data for processing.

- Comply with WSH, confined-space entry and work-at-height requirements; report incidents promptly.

- Maintain and care for drone equipment.

Requirements

Essential

- Valid CAAS Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence (UAPL) — Rotorcraft / multi-rotor.

- Hands-on experience operating commercial inspection drones (DJI Mavic/Flyability Elios 3 or similar).

- Precise flying in tight, GPS-denied or confined environments; strong situational awareness and a clean flying record.

- Physically fit and comfortable working at height and in enclosed/confined spaces.

- Willing to travel to sites across Singapore (and occasionally the region).

Advantageous

- Flyability Elios 3 / confined-space drone experience.

- DJI Mavic Pro / facade inspection with drone experience

- Thermal imaging, LiDAR or photogrammetry experience.

- Familiarity with BCA PFI / TR78 façade inspection.

- WSH Confined Space, Work-at-Height, bizSAFE certifications.

- Data-processing skills (Pix4D, Agisoft, Flyability Inspector).

What we offer

- Fly the latest inspection drone/ROV/LiDAR technology on real industrial and building projects.

- A hands-on role in a fast-growing niche, with training and progression.

- Competitive remuneration based on licences and experience.
