Drone Mapping Specialist

At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard.

We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

As a Drone Mapping Specialist you will help us capture high-quality aerial imagery across dairy farms. This is a key step in setting every Halter farm up for success. Accurate imagery gives our teams the foundation they need to map paddocks, plan deployment, and deliver a smooth experience for farmers from day one.

This is an on-the-road, hands-on role. You’ll travel across your region visiting dairy farms, flying drones to capture accurate imagery, coordinating directly with farmers, and making sure mapping is completed safely, efficiently, and to Halter’s standards.

We have two vacancies for permanent roles - 1x North Island and 1x South Island and are open to where the candidate is based as long as they are willing to travel.

Core Requirements:

• Travelling to dairy farms across your region to complete drone mapping.

• Coordinating farm visits around weather, farmer availability, travel time, and deployment priorities.

• Liaising directly with farmers to confirm visit times, access requirements, and what will happen on farm.

• Capturing consistent, high-quality aerial imagery that can be used to create ortho maps for paddock mapping and farm setup.

• Uploading, logging, and checking mapping data accurately after each visit.

• Representing Halter professionally while working on customer farms.

• Other farm based activities from time to time.

• A confident communicator who can build rapport quickly with farmers and represent Halter well on farm.

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to plan your own days and manage multiple farm visits across a region.

• Reliability and a strong work ethic, with the ability to follow through on commitments and keep deployment work moving.

• The ability to work independently once trained, while keeping the wider team updated.

• Strong attention to detail when capturing, uploading, and logging mapping data.

• Practical problem-solving skills when plans change due to weather, access, equipment, or farm conditions.

• A full, clean driver's licence.

• The ability to travel and stay away from home 2–3 nights per week.

We’re looking for people who are organised, reliable, confident with farmers, and comfortable working independently. What matters most is that you can manage your time, communicate well, and get the job done in a fast-moving deployment environment.

Halter is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace — a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and under-represented groups of candidates tend to only apply when they meet every requirement. If you think you have what it takes but don’t necessarily tick every requirement on this job description, please still get in touch and apply to Halter. We’d love to chat to see if you’ll be an epic fit!
