Established around five years ago, my client is a well-respected, friendly team who are committed to delivering a quality service to their customers.

They have a genuine focus on quality over quantity - Four to five L3 Surveys per week with one day per week in the office or at home reserved for report writing.

They offer market-leading training and support to all their surveyors, which covers bespoke building surveying training including drone training for all the Surveyors.

Offering:

  • Basic salary: £48-£67,000 per annum (agency approx.).
  • Flat 5 - 10% commission depending on agreement, paid monthly on net fees (average total commission is around £10 - £30,000 per annum, on top of basic).
  • Pension contributions in line with government requirements.
  • 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays.

Other key information:

  • For their turnaround, they target their team with 2-3 days, which they believe is easily achievable with the systems they have in place.
  • For reporting, they use Go Report which allows for efficiency while on-site - not the standard off-the-shelf report from Go Report.
  • In terms of the technology they offer their surveyors, they provide: iPhone Max phones, Mavic drones (as part of recruitment you will become CAA certified), thermal imaging cameras (+ PC laptop would be provided).
  • Their average fee is approx. £1500 plus.
  • Manual and automated bookings system – they have an excellent CRM system that automates lots of the processes with the team still liaising with estate agents/clients/vendors to arrange the booking.
  • Experienced admin support team to help you daily; their sales team generates all the bookings, and the admin support organizes all the bookings, creates the site notes, and sanitizes emails (any non-technical queries are responded to). The admin support team is in place to free up the surveyors’ time to focus on surveys/valuations and technical queries.

All figures quoted above are approx. and possibly there will be additional car allowance / bonus payments.

The Skills Gap in UAV Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) — commonly known as drones — are among the fastest-growing technologies globally. From infrastructure inspection and agriculture to emergency response, surveying, logistics and defence, UAVs are transforming how organisations gather data, deliver services and improve efficiency. In the UK, demand for UAV professionals is increasing rapidly. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with engineering, robotics or aerospace backgrounds, employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not ready for real UAV jobs. This is not a reflection of intelligence or academic effort. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in the UAV sector. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build a successful career in UAVs.

UAV Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

UAVs (drones) have moved far beyond hobby flying. In the UK, they are now used every day for surveying, infrastructure inspection, construction progress, environmental monitoring, emergency response, film production, agriculture, offshore work & security. That growth has created a wide range of UAV job opportunities — and many of the most realistic routes into the sector are well suited to career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s. This article gives you a straight UK reality check on UAV careers: what roles genuinely exist, what training you really need, how long it takes to become employable, where the money is, what employers actually look for & whether age matters (usually far less than people assume).

How to Write a UAV or Drone Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are now used across a wide range of UK industries, including defence, aerospace, surveying, agriculture, energy, emergency services, infrastructure inspection and logistics. As the sector grows, so does demand for skilled UAV professionals — from pilots and engineers to software developers, systems specialists and compliance experts. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. UAV job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced UAV professionals, meanwhile, regularly ignore adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from real operational and regulatory requirements. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. UAV professionals are practical, safety-conscious and detail-oriented. A poorly written job ad signals weak understanding of aviation, regulation or operational reality. A clear, well-written one signals credibility, professionalism and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a UAV job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the UAV sector.
