GIS & Drone Mapping Specialist
Location: West Plam Beach, FL
Employment Type: Full Time
The Opportunity
We are looking for a GIS & Drone Mapping Specialist to join our growing technology team. You will work at the intersection of GIS + Drones.
You will collect and process aerial data, manage GIS datasets, create interactive maps, and help integrate drone, survey, engineering data.
What You’ll Do
· Manage, clean, analyze, and maintain GIS datasets for infrastructure and construction projects.
· Create professional maps, exhibits, dashboards, and web maps using ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Enterprise.
· Work with shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML/KMZ, geodatabases, CAD, survey, and raster data.
· Ensure spatial accuracy, coordinate systems, georeferencing, and data quality.
· Operate drones/UAVs for aerial mapping, construction monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and site documentation.
· Plan and execute drone missions and collect high-resolution imagery.
· Process imagery into orthomosaics, point clouds, DEMs, DSMs, and 3D models.
· Integrate drone data with GIS, CAD, Civil 3D, BIM, and project applications.
· Support construction progress, asset mapping, inspections, change detection, and site analysis.
What We’re Looking For
· Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Geography, Geomatics, Surveying, Civil Engineering, or related field.
· 3+ years of GIS/geospatial experience.
· 2+ years of hands-on drone/UAV experience.
· 2+ years of ArcGIS Pro experience.
· Experience with aerial imagery and drone mapping/photogrammetry.
· Strong understanding of coordinate systems, projections, georeferencing, and spatial data accuracy.
· Experience working with GIS, CAD, survey, or engineering data.
· Experience in construction, transportation, infrastructure, surveying, geotechnical, water, or environmental projects.
· Experience with DJI Terra, Pix4D, DroneDeploy, Metashape, or similar platforms.
· AutoCAD / Civil 3D experience.
· ArcGIS Online / Enterprise experience.
· Experience with Power BI, ArcGIS Dashboards, Python, SQL, or web GIS.
· Commercial/professional drone pilot certification or authorization, where applicable.

What Makes This Role Different?
You won’t just be creating maps.
You’ll help turn real-world infrastructure into intelligent digital information.
Your work may start with a drone flying over a construction site and end with that data becoming part of a GIS platform, dashboard, digital twin, or infrastructure monitoring application.
If you’re excited about GIS, drones, infrastructure, and emerging technology, we’d like to hear from you.
Benefits
· Flexible schedule
· Work with GIS, UAV technologies
· Collaborate with engineers, developers, surveyors, and technology teams.
