Visual Observer
Dawson Creek & Chetwynd, BC | Temporary Project | Starting ~Third Week of July
Capture is looking for a Visual Observer to support our RPAS (drone) pilot on an upcoming advanced operations project near Dawson Creek and Chetwynd. If you love being outdoors, don't mind unpredictable weather, and want a front-row seat to drone operations in action, this could be a great fit.
No drone experience necessary — we'll show you the ropes. What matters more is reliability, a sharp eye, and a good attitude in the field.
What you'll be doing
Working alongside our RPAS pilot-in-command, you'll help maintain visual line of sight on the aircraft, watch for hazards (airspace, terrain, wildlife, other aircraft), and communicate clearly to keep the operation safe and on schedule.
The details
- Duration: 5–10 days, weather dependent
- Hours: 8–10 hour days, weekdays and weekends — flexibility is key
- Start date: Approximately the third week of July
What you'll need
- Valid First Aid with CPR
- PPE: Steel-toed boots, hi-vis vest and eye protection (vest and hard hat can be provided with advanced notice)
- A flexible schedule for the project window, including weekend availability
- Comfort working outdoors in variable conditions
- Clothing appropriate for the day's conditions, water, snack and lunch
Nice-to-haves
- A personal vehicle (a real asset, especially if you're not already local to Chetwynd or Dawson Creek)
- A genuine curiosity about drones — bonus points if you've always wanted to know how this stuff actually works
- A love of being outside more than behind a desk
