Job title: RPAS Pilot / Drone Operator

About Gray Jay Corrosion

Gray Jay Corrosion Ltd. provides drone-based inspection services to oil and gas operators in Alberta. We use remotely piloted aircraft and sensor payloads to inspect industrial and upstream sites, and deliver the processed results to our clients. We are a small team expanding our advanced and beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations.

The role

The RPAS Pilot / Drone Operator handles inspection projects from planning through to final deliverables. Planning includes mission scoping against the client's inspection objectives, airspace assessment, site survey, and flight plan preparation. Field work involves operating the aircraft and sensor payloads to collect complete, usable data within the constraints of the site and conditions. Post-flight work covers data processing and quality control — point-cloud, thermal, and gas-detection outputs — through to client-ready deliverables. The role will expand to include BVLOS and more complex operations as the company's scope grows.

Responsibilities

Plan and conduct drone inspection missions on industrial sites across Alberta
Operate the aircraft and sensor payloads; manage flight planning, airspace checks, site surveys, and pre-/post-flight procedures
Maintain accurate flight logs, maintenance records, and documentation consistent with our operating procedures
Process and QA inspection data into client deliverables
Adhere to all regulatory and client site-safety requirements

Who we're looking for

Self-starter who can work independently in the field with limited supervision
Comfortable learning new equipment, software, and procedures quickly and on the job
Takes initiative and solves problems on site rather than waiting for direction
Reliable and motivated, with the discipline to maintain quality and documentation without being checked
Adaptable — comfortable with the variety and changing priorities of a small, growing company

Required

Valid Class 5 driver's licence and willingness to travel and work in the field in Alberta conditions
Able to work a rotational 5-on / 9-off schedule with 12-hour days
Willingness to obtain required safety certifications (e.g. First Aid, H2S Alive, CSO, TDG); existing tickets an asset
Strong documentation discipline and attention to detail
Mechanical aptitude and comfort with technology

Assets (not required — an advantage if you have them)

Transport Canada Pilot Certificate (Basic, Advanced, or Level 1 Complex Operations)
Restricted Operator Certificate – Aeronautical (ROC-A)
Experience operating commercial drones and sensor payloads
Data-processing skills (point-cloud, photogrammetry, thermal, or GIS)
Relevant field, industrial, or technical experience

What we offer

$25–$30/hour plus overtime, full-time
Rotational 5-on / 9-off schedule, 12-hour days
Company vehicle provided for field deployments
Extended health benefits and a recreational spending account
Support toward Transport Canada certification and skills development
Hands-on work with current-generation equipment and a growing service line

How to apply

Submit your résumé and a short note on any relevant experience and your current certification level (if any).

Pay: $25.00-$30.00 per hour

Benefits:

Dental care
Extended health care
Paid time off

Work Location: In person
