Advanced LiDAR UAS Pilot
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About the role: description of role, hybrid, location, travel, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (collect LiDAR data, pre-mission planning, develop flight plans, etc.)
- Requirements: maybe "What you will bring to our firm" includes prior experience, degree, license, etc.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have content for:
- About the role: first paragraph: "GFT is seeking an Advanced LiDAR UAS Pilot to join our Reality Capture Team. This hybrid role is based in the Central or Southeastern United States and requires attendance at one of GFT's offices in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, or North Carolina. Candidates should be located near a major airport. We are seeking someone who has flown Harris Aerial and/or Freefly drones with Riegl LiDAR units full time professionally for at least 3 years. Must be willing to travel throughout the US 50% of the time."
Also later: "What You’ll Be Challenged To Do Join our exciting and fast-growing Reality Capture Team, providing a full range of UAS survey, mapping and bridge inspection services on a national level. Collect data from the air by utilizing state-of-the-art sUAS/Drones equipped with high-definition cameras & video, thermal, LiDAR and other payloads. You’ll work on complex, high-impact infrastructure and transportation projects using advanced LiDAR and survey-grade UAS platforms. This role also offers the opportunity to help shape and scale UAS operations at a national level."
That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. But we can treat "What You’ll Be Challenged To Do" as About the role.
- Responsibilities: list after "In this capacity, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:" then bullet list: Collect top quality LiDAR data for transportation and infrastructure projects.; Conduct pre-mission planning with project managers to clarify objectives and deliverables.; Develop flight plans, check NOTAMS, check weather and coordinate airspace integration with any effected controlling agencies or private property owners.; Perform equipment setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.; Solve problems in real-time and deliver acquired data in a timely manner.; Establish survey-grade control for sUAS projects utilizing GNSS equipment.; Perform “close proximity flights” on bridge superstructures and challenging environments.; Assist in developing and administering a structured UAS training program.; Data processing and feature extraction.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "What you will bring to our firm:" list: Prior experience with Harris Aerial, Freefly, and Riegl LiDAR Systems, or similar sized platforms.; Previous surveying, data processing, or engineering experience a plus.; Prior supervisory experience a plus.; AA Degree from a Technical School or a BS from an accredited institution.; Professional experience with multi-rotor drones (3-years or more preferred).; FAA Part 107 license required.; Understanding of all components of RPAS, as well as the ability to troubleshoot technical issues in the field.; Knowledge of proper operations of sUAS per FAA Part 107 regulations.; Knowledge of drone mapping software.; Ability to work independently and/or as part of a small team.; Ability to travel 50% of the time, when needed for Emergency Response work, and on some weekends.; Ability to work outdoors with limited facilities and resources for extended periods of time in various conditions and climates.; Must be able to lift 50lbs.; Operate and travel in company vehicles for extended field deployments.; Previous field work experience required.; Must make safety #1 priority at all times.; Ability to maintain, inspect, clean, and occasionally repair UAS equipment.; Ability to manage small field crew (2-4 people), field schedule, and project expectations.; Able to articulate and communicate effectively via text, email and verbally.
- Pay: "Compensation: The salary range for this role is $38.00 - $55.00 per/hour. Salary is dependent upon experience and geographic location."
- Benefits: "Featured Benefits: Hybrid (in-person and remote) work environment. Comprehensive benefits package including wellness programs, parental leave, and pet insurance, in addition to medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. Tax-deferred 401(k) savings plan. Competitive paid-time-off (PTO) accrual. Tuition reimbursement for continued education. Commitment to professional development, access to internal and external training programs, and support of active participation in professional organizations. Incentive compensation for eligible positions."
- Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of Core Business Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Also mention travel 50% of time, weekends, emergency response. Could we create a Schedule section? The instruction says only create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections if posting actually states them. There's mention of Core Business Hours, which is schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that detail.
We also have location info: "Location: Kansas City, MO, Fort Worth or Houston, TX." Could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we don't have a heading for location; we could incorporate into About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Advanced LiDAR UAS Pilot". We'll just have sections.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO, legal, unsolicited resumes, background check, etc. Also remove "At GFT, a privately held AEC firm..." paragraph? That's more company description; could be considered boilerplate? It's not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but it's generic marketing. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description might be considered not boilerplate but could be kept? It's not required to keep but it's substantive? It's about the company; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? It's not directly about the role but could be considered filler. Safer to omit it? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is substantive about the firm but not about the role. However it's not explicitly required to keep. I'd lean to keep it as part of About the role? But it's not about the role; it's about the company. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not those. So we could keep it. However we need to avoid too many thin sections. We could incorporate a brief sentence about GFT in About the role.
But we also have "GFT: Ingenuity That Shapes Lives™ is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's EEO boilerplate, must remove.
Also "Unsolicited resumes from third party agencies will be considered the property GFT. GFT does require the successful completion of a criminal background check for all advertised positions." Remove.
Also "Location: Kansas City, MO, Fort Worth or Houston, TX." Keep.
Also "Core Business Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM" Keep for Schedule.
Also "Employment Status: Full-Time" Could be part of About the role or maybe not needed; but it's substantive. Could include in About the role.
We need to output only HTML fragment. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not create sections with filler text. So we need to ensure each section has real content.
Let's plan sections:
- About the role: combine initial description, role challenge, location, employment status, maybe company description.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe combine "What you will bring to our firm" and also include degree, license, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Skills: maybe separate skills like ability to work independently, communication, etc. But we could incorporate into Requirements. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have just About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. Could we combine Pay and Benefits? No, they are separate headings allowed. We'll keep them.
We need to ensure we don't create a Skills section unless we have specific skills list separate from requirements. The "What you will bring to our firm" includes many skill-like items; we could treat that as Requirements. So we won't have a separate Skills section.
Now let's draft content.
About the role prose: combine paragraphs.
