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).

  • 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.

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.

Maths for UAV Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you’re aiming for UAV jobs in the UK (drone pilot, UAV engineer, autonomy developer, payload specialist, flight test, survey, inspection, defence contractor roles) it’s easy to feel like you need “all the maths”. You don’t. Most real-world UAV roles repeatedly use a small set of maths topics: Linear algebra for frames, vectors & transforms Probability for sensor noise, estimation & decision confidence Complex numbers for signals, filters, RF links & control frequency response Basic optimisation for trajectory planning, tuning & trade-offs This article explains the only topics you actually need, how to learn them quickly, plus a 6-week plan & practical projects you can publish to prove the skills.
