Drone Mapping Specialist

As a drone mapping specialist, you use drones to capture detailed aerial data about land, crops, and structures. Day to day, you plan flight paths, operate drones equipped with cameras or sensors, and gather images that get turned into maps, three-dimensional models, and analysis. In agriculture, you might create maps that show crop health so farmers can act on problem areas; in construction or surveying, you might measure sites and track progress. After flying, you process the data with specialized software and share the results. The work combines outdoor fieldwork, technology, and careful attention to accuracy.
