Drone Coordinator

Specialized in civil engineering and engineering structures, Bouygues Travaux Publics is one of the world leaders in the fields of land use planning and sustainable infrastructure construction. Bouygues Travaux Publics is committed to diversity and is open to all talents.

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 acertified UAV pilot(CAA A2 CofC, GVC, or equivalent), and experienced with GIS platforms, spatial data formats, and modern drone tech.

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.
