Drone Pilot Jobs at DPS: Join the Future of Industrial Piloting

By Mullady Voelker, CEO – Drone Powered Solutions (DPS)

Most drone pilots get into this field because they want more than a desk job. They’re builders. Explorers. Technicians. But too often, drone work ends up being limited to marketing shots or hobbyist projects that don’t fully use a pilot’s skillset. At DPS, we’re flipping the script.

We believe drones can change how the built world is maintained—starting with how we clean it. From solar farms and high-rises to cruise ships and fuel storage tanks, we deploy industrial drones to perform complex, high-stakes cleaning work. And we need pilots who are ready to fly with purpose, especially in growing regions like Miami and Houston.

Real-World Impact, Not Just Pretty Pictures

This isn’t just about capturing cinematic views. It’s about solving big industrial problems using drone technology. When one of our pilots flies a pressure-wash drone on a 10-story building, they’re:

  • Reducing jobsite risk
  • Speeding up industrial cleaning timelines
  • Extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure

We operate in sectors where precision and safety matter: healthcare, maritime, energy, and municipal systems. This means you’re not just flying—you’re changing the standard for how industrial work gets done, with the drone industry projected to see significant growth in 2025, driven by demands for skilled pilots in applications like ours.

We Don’t Just Hire Pilots—We Equip You for Long-Term Growth

Every pilot on our team receives:

  • Ongoing training in advanced drone systems (e.g., DJI Dock, Apellix, Skydio)
  • Exposure to cutting-edge payloads: spray nozzles, sensors, thermal imaging
  • Opportunities to move into tech, ops, or sales roles as we scale

We know that good pilots want to grow. That’s why we create a path where you can stay in the field—or step into leadership and innovation, aligning with 2025 trends emphasizing regulatory knowledge and mission planning.

High-Skill Work That Requires Focus and Judgment

Cleaning with drones isn’t just pulling a trigger and flying a grid. Our pilots are:

  • Managing fluid pressure systems
  • Coordinating with safety officers on live jobsites
  • Calibrating spray patterns based on wind, angle, and chemical type
  • Logging FAA-compliant flight data

It’s active, engaged work—you’ll be constantly making micro-decisions that improve outcomes for clients and reduce risk for teams on the ground.

A National and International Opportunity

We’re expanding fast—across the U.S. and into Latin America and the Caribbean. That means:

  • Travel opportunities
  • New pilot territories
  • Cross-border fleet coordination
  • Exposure to international regulatory frameworks

If you’ve dreamed of combining real drone work with real exploration, DPS is the place to do it, with openings in key areas like drone pilot jobs in Miami and Houston.

What We Look for in Pilots

We’re not just hiring warm bodies with a Part 107. We’re looking for:

  • People who take safety seriously
  • Pilots who understand pressure systems, mechanics, and weather
  • Operators who want to innovate, not just follow orders
  • Teammates who can communicate clearly with ground crews and clients
  • Individuals who stay calm under pressure, even in high-stakes or dynamic environments
  • Pilots who are comfortable marrying art and science—navigating both precision-based technique and creative problem solving

Join the Movement

This is the ground floor of something big. Drone-based cleaning is still in its infancy, and we’re shaping what it looks like as it scales. If you want your skills to make a difference—not just look cool on Instagram—DPS is the crew you want to fly with.

We’re not just flying drones. We’re flying toward the future of clean. For more on our services, see our blog on drone facade cleaning benefits.
