Job Description

Experienced Offshore UAV Pilots.

An exciting opportunity to join a leading provider of geographic data acquisition, industrial inspections, and high-end aerial imagery, using unmanned aircraft (UAVs).

Our business is rapidly expanding in one of the most exciting and technically challenging areas of aerospace: unmanned aviation.

We are currently looking for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Operator to join our team. The position available will mainly involve offshore inspection work and detailed aerial topographical surveying, using a combination of UAVs and traditional survey methods.

Further to this, you will have the opportunities to get involved with many different projects at Skeye, including, but not limited to: UAV Inspections, LiDAR technology & Drone in a Box operations.

This exciting role will place the right candidate at the forefront of unmanned air systems (drones) in Europe. The ideal candidate will have a desire for travelling around the UK and Europe to work on varied survey and inspection jobs, be able to work in a team and under their own initiative. They must be motivated, be able to complete tasks in a timely manner, and have excellent communication skills.

Essential Qualifications/Experience:

  • Current CAA GVC certification
  • Extensive UAV flying experience
  • Knowledge of UK airspace regulations
  • Experience in aerial surveying techniques
  • Full UK Driving license

Desirable skills include:

  • Working offshore and having all GWO certs
  • Inspection qualifications
  • Experience in traditional survey methods
  • Fixed wing experience

Opportunity for more training will be available with this growing business.

Rural-Remote UAV Jobs: Charting New Flight Paths Beyond the City

A New Horizon for Drone Enthusiasts Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have soared from niche military tools and hobbyist gadgets to an essential technology across a broad range of sectors—from agriculture and mapping to construction and public safety. Historically, those seeking a career in UAV technology might have assumed they needed to live in a bustling city hub or near major airports to stand a chance of landing a good role. But times are changing. Advances in remote communication, cloud-based data processing, and drone autonomy now enable professionals to work on sophisticated UAV projects from almost anywhere in the UK, including rural and coastal regions. At UAVJobs.co.uk, we’re witnessing a significant shift. More employers are open to hiring remote UAV pilots, data analysts, software developers, and project managers—provided they can access reliable internet and handle occasional on-site visits. Likewise, an increasing number of professionals are seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “UAV remote countryside” roles, motivated by rising urban living costs, quality-of-life aspirations, and the growing acceptance of distributed teams. In this article, we’ll explore why “rural-remote UAV jobs” are no longer a pipe dream, the benefits and challenges of stepping beyond the city, and how to position yourself for success if you’re ready to settle among rolling hills or scenic coastlines. Whether you’re a seasoned drone pilot, a software engineer working on flight autonomy, or a GIS analyst processing aerial data, you might be pleasantly surprised by the opportunities waiting for you outside metropolitan areas.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in UAVs—A New Frontier in Aerial Autonomy

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—often called drones—have transformed industries from agriculture and logistics to emergency response and filmmaking. Yet as UAV technology scales in sophistication and widespread adoption, existing computational models struggle with the immense complexity of tasks like real-time path planning, obstacle avoidance, sensor fusion, and multi-agent coordination. Conventional hardware and AI algorithms can handle many missions adequately, but the next level—think fully autonomous UAV fleets, high-speed real-time analytics, and intricate swarm operations—demands a paradigm shift in computational capability. That’s where quantum computing enters the picture. Capitalising on quantum mechanical phenomena (superposition and entanglement), quantum computers can tackle specific challenges (like large-scale optimisation and rapid sampling) much faster than classical machines. When fused with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a quantum-enhanced synergy, it opens fresh possibilities for UAV autonomy—ranging from improved flight safety and swarm coordination to advanced image processing and sensor analytics. In this article, we will: Examine current demands in the UAV sector, highlighting core limitations of classical methods. Explain the basics of quantum computing—what qubits are and how they might bolster AI workflows. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can elevate UAV applications, spanning everything from route optimisation to swarm coordination. Discuss the hurdles we must overcome (such as noisy quantum hardware or data encoding) and ways to address them. Look at the emerging roles, skill sets, and career pathways to ride this wave of innovation—especially in the UK UAV market. If you are an aviation engineer, data scientist, robotics specialist, or simply intrigued by drones and next-gen computing, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI may well define the next evolution of UAV technology, bridging the gap between current capabilities and truly autonomous flight across the skies.
