Candidates must also have three years of professional experience making recommendations and decisions relating to the selection, planning, and production of mapping projects and independent research and evaluation activities which require knowledge and application of the technical principles and practices of GIS and/or photogrammetry.

Substitution: An associate degree in a related field can substitute for two years of specialized experience; a bachelor’s degree in a related field can substitute for four years of experience; a master’s degree in a related field can substitute for five years of experience; and a doctorate in a related field can substitute for six years of experience.

Experience limited to Computer Aided Design (CAD) use or GIS user production of thematic overlays to such base maps or to generate system-produced GIS maps will NOT be considered as appropriate experience.

Candidates may also be qualified for permanent competitive appointment if reachable from the appropriate Civil Service eligible list or eligible for reassignment or transfer in accordance with Civil Service Law.

Promotion:
One year of permanent competitive service as a Mapping Technologist 2.

70.1 Transfer Qualifications:
Candidates must have one year of permanent competitive or 55bc service as a Mapping Technologist 3.

One year of permanent competitive experience as a Mapping Technologist 2.

The Future of UAV (Drone) Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones, have transformed from military technology into a versatile civilian tool reshaping countless industries. What began as reconnaissance aircraft is now a commercial ecosystem spanning logistics, healthcare, energy, agriculture, construction, media, and defence. In the UK alone, drones are already inspecting power lines, supporting police operations, mapping farmland, and delivering critical medical supplies to remote areas. The numbers are compelling. The UK drone market, valued at US $1.85 billion in 2024, is forecast to grow to US $9 billion by 2035, representing a CAGR of 15.5%. Globally, UAVs could contribute £45 billion to the UK economy and create 650,000 associated jobs by the mid-2030s. According to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), over 500,000 drone operators and flyers were registered by early 2023, with thousands more joining annually. But this is just the beginning. As UAVs converge with AI, robotics, advanced materials, satellite navigation, and air traffic management systems, we are approaching a new era. Tomorrow’s UAV ecosystem will rely on autonomous fleets, smart airspace, resilient supply chains, and sustainable operations. That means entirely new jobs are coming—roles that don’t exist today but will soon be indispensable. This article explores: Why UAVs will generate new jobs Future careers likely to emerge in the next decade How today’s jobs will evolve Why the UK is uniquely positioned to lead How to prepare for UAV careers that don’t yet exist
