About Skycatch

Skycatch is transforming mining with high-accuracy drone mapping, AI-powered analytics, and automation tools that enable safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations.

Our solutions are deployed in top global mining companies and we're a trusted partner to industry leaders like Caterpillar and NVIDIA, helping mines transition toward autonomy, precision planning, and near-real-time decision-making.

We're looking for a Solutions Engineer who's as comfortable walking a haul road in steel-toe boots as presenting ROI-driven analytics in the boardroom. You'll be the bridge between real mining pains and cutting-edge Skycatch technology.

What You'll Do

Lead proof of concepts and demos at mine sites worldwide, showing how Skycatch's drone automation and geospatial analytics solve real operational problems.
Map customer pain points (haul road compliance, mine plan validation, stockpile accuracy, highwall safety) to Skycatch workflows and business outcomes.
Design and present technical proposals that clearly communicate ROI and operational impact.
Deliver onboarding & training to surveyors, engineers, operations, and safety teams so Skycatch becomes part of their daily workflow.
Ensure customer success post-deployment, monitoring usage, surfacing new use cases, and supporting contract renewals/expansion.
Collaborate closely with sales, product, and engineering teams to bring customer feedback into future Skycatch innovations.

What We're Looking For

5+ years in mining operations, ideally in mine planning, surveying, geotechnical, or production engineering.
Familiarity with open-pit mining workflows, safety standards, and operational KPIs.
Experience with survey/GIS tools (RTK GPS, LiDAR, photogrammetry, ArcGIS, Vulcan, Deswik, MineStar, Hexagon, or similar).
Ability to

connect operational metrics (e.g., truck availability, fuel burn, downtime) to technical solutions.

Skills & Traits

Confident presenting to both frontline crews and C-suite executives.
Hands-on technologist, comfortable flying a drone, troubleshooting network connectivity, or configuring software in the field.
Problem solver who thrives in dynamic, high-pressure environments.
Willingness to travel frequently to customer sites worldwide.

Why Join Us

Be part of a global leader in mining digitization and autonomy enablement.
Work with cutting-edge technology - autonomous drone systems, AI analytics, real-time data processing.
Make a tangible impact on safety, productivity, and sustainability in mining.
Collaborate with some of the biggest names in mining and heavy equipment manufacturing.
