A day in the life of a Murphy UAS Remote Pilot Surveyor
You will support our projects nationwide, delivering high quality aerial survey data and integrating it seamlessly into our digital engineering processes. Your day may include:
- Plan and deliver UAS aerial surveys (photogrammetry and LiDAR), including GSD/point density definition, flight planning and field operations.
- Conduct airspace assessments, hazard analysis, and prepare RAMS and emergency procedures compliant with CAP722 and UK UAS regulations.
- Deploy and survey RTK/Network RTK GCPs and independent check points to ensure survey grade accuracy.
- Execute PPK/RTK positioning workflows, including trajectory processing and validation.
- Operate UAS platforms with RGB and LiDAR payloads and configure all sensor settings to meet survey specifications.
- Process photogrammetry and LiDAR datasets to generate orthomosaics, DSM/DTM, classified point clouds and volumetric surfaces.
- Perform detailed quality control on imagery, GNSS data, point clouds and surface models to ensure compliance with project specifications.
- Support data delivery and hosting through Propeller, ArcGIS Online, or project-specific platforms.
And importantly…
You will play a key part in integrating UAS outputs into our digital engineering and machine control workflows, including learning how:
- UAS surfaces feed into earthworks models and cut/fill analysis.
- Survey data is converted into machine control‑ready datasets (e.g., for dozers, excavators, and intelligent compaction).
- Digital terrain and point cloud data support progress reporting, construction verification, and automated digital workflows.
We are specifically looking for someone motivated to expand beyond flying and processing, and who wants to become a specialist in digital data processing, modelling and automation across the full Geomatics lifecycle.
