We are seeking a detail-oriented and tech-savvy Engineer - Specialist to support the
Drone Inspection Program. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with strong analytical
skills, attention to detail, and a passion for learning and innovation - traits essential for
our fast-evolving program. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the
intersection of traditional infrastructure inspection and cutting-edge drone technology.  
This role combines drone operation support, ground-level inspections of powerline
infrastructure, and technical and analytical tasks. You will participate in field
inspections, operate advanced sensors, and prepare structured inspection reports. In
parallel, you will support the continuous improvement of IMCO's inspection protocols,
contribute to the refinement of internal inspection software and reporting tools,
and assist in the interpretation and application of international standards.  
The ideal candidate will have a strong desire to grow their skills in inspection data
collection and analysis and will have the opportunity to pursue several career tracks
based on their competency and interest. This includes advanced areas such as UAV
sensor operations, UAV piloting, remote sensing, GIS, and contributions to cross-
disciplinary innovation projects involving grid technology, IoT, and AI. This is a high-
impact engineering role for someone who wants to work with purpose, grow quickly, and
help shape the future of infrastructure inspection and maintenance.  

Key Responsibilities 
 Participate in UAV-enabled inspections of electrical transmission and substation
assets using advanced sensors and cameras.
