Drone Field Support Technician

Location: Southern England (UK-wide travel)
Rate: 150 per day (Outside IR35)
Contract: 6 months initially, with permanent potential

We're supporting a pioneering technology company delivering radar-based drone surveying across major UK infrastructure projects. This is an exciting opportunity to join at an early stage as they scale up nationally.

You'll be part of a small, specialist field team operating drones equipped with advanced radar payloads - capturing underground data to support major infrastructure and telecoms networks. The work combines hands-on technical operation, travel, and problem-solving in the field, with full training provided by their in-house experts and global partners.

What you'll be doing:

• Operating drones fitted with radar payloads across sites in the UK

• Conducting radar surveys and collecting high-quality data

• Working closely with engineers and project teams to ensure safe and accurate site coverage

• Supporting logistics and field planning across multiple projects

What we're looking for:

• Experience operating drones (ideally CAA-certified - GVC / PfCO)

• Strong practical mindset, comfortable working outdoors and travelling across the UK

• Reliable, resilient, and able to think on your feet

• A genuine interest in technology, surveying, or field engineering

• Full UK driving licence

This is a chance to get involved in an innovative project at ground level - perfect for someone who enjoys technical, hands-on work and wants to grow into a lead or management position as the team expands.
