I’m currently looking for a skilled and versatile Drone / UAV Coordinator to join our team at the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), where we’re supporting the build of one of the UK’s most important infrastructure projects – Sizewell C.

This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in a project that will generate enough low-carbon electricity to power around 6 million homes and help secure the country’s clean energy future for the next 60 years.

As our Drone / UAV Coordinator, you’ll be the go-to expert for coordinating aerial operations across the Sizewell C site. You’ll lead the planning and execution of drone surveys, inspections, and mapping – not just flying UAVs, but managing the entire workflow from pre-flight logistics and compliance to post-flight data processing and insight generation.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Planning and managing all drone operations across the CWA on the Sizewell C project.

• Conducting UAV flights for aerial surveys, environmental monitoring, and media capture.

• Ensuring compliance with all aviation regulations, safety procedures, and internal protocols.

• Processing and analysing geospatial data using GIS and photogrammetry tools such as ArcGIS, DroneDeploy, Propeller, and Pix4D.

• Creating reports, 3D models, and visualisations to support engineering, safety, and environmental teams.

• Maintaining the drone fleet and serving as the central contact for all drone-related coordination.

This role is a great fit for someone with a proven background in UAV operations, geospatial data, and digital coordination in infrastructure or environmental settings. You’ll need to be a certified UAV pilot (CAA A2 CofC, GVC, or equivalent), and experienced with GIS platforms, spatial data formats, and modern drone tech.

Key competencies we’re looking for:

• A strong understanding of airspace regulations and UAV safety best practices.

• Experience delivering insights through photogrammetry, mapping, and spatial data analysis.

• Confidence working across cross-functional teams and translating complex data for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• A proactive, detail-focused mindset with excellent organisational and communication skills.

• Familiarity with scripting tools (e.g., Python or SQL) or cloud-based GIS platforms is a bonus.

This is a hybrid position based in Suffolk, with flexibility depending on your experience. You'll be working at the heart of a landmark project, with a real opportunity to help shape the way we build the UK's energy future.
