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.
