Project Manager

At Client side, you will have the opportunity to contribute to strategic projects and play a key role in the functional and technical evolution of our drone solutions. As part of this mission, you will join the I-ICT.112 Cameras, Drones & Security Solutions office and work within the Drone Competence Center on critical projects for the continuity and performance of drone-based activities (VLOS and BVLOS). These projects involve consolidating and distributing drone-related information, requiring the implementation of a robust, resilient, and redundant ICT architecture for integration with an existing Milestone video platform.

Internal Responsibilities:

• Execution of SORA and other risk analyses in the context of large-scale drone usage.
• Defining requirements for executing BVLOS flights for track surveying, mapping, photogrammetry, art structure/infrastructure inspections, and GSM-R tower inspections within Infrabel.
• Technology watch (analyzing and implementing technical On-Premise solutions).
• Drone project preparation (study + offer + commissioning with all relevant departments: clients, local ICT, monitoring tool verification, and as-built documentation).
• Integration of existing DIAB technical alarms into existing ICT.3 Operations systems.
• Work on new projects, site enhancements, as well as corrective and evolutionary maintenance of existing security products.

Main Responsibilities:

Complete Security Audit for Drone Use:

• Risk analysis per project.
• Estimating required effort (Build and Run) for each drone project/solution.
• Developing automated test scripts to ensure client-required performance levels.
• Organizing and structuring contributions from each stakeholder (suppliers, various ICT departments including power supply, wired/4G/5G connectivity, cybersecurity, and operations/maintenance testing procedures).
• Integrating test execution into a checklist, summarizing results in a report saved in SAP.
• Supporting colleagues in using drone product monitoring tools.
• Creating customized test scenarios tailored to specific site needs.
• Documenting chosen technical solutions.
• Actively participating in drone pilot training.

Ensuring Solution Quality:

• Delivering tailored test reports for various use cases (tracking, mapping, photogrammetry, infrastructure inspection, etc.).
• Executing manual test scenarios when automated scripts are unavailable.
• Accurately documenting detected anomalies and regressions.

Soft Skills:

• Good knowledge of the drone ecosystem (DGTA, Skeyes).
• Analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Initiative and autonomy in drafting SORA documentation.
• Adaptability to regulatory changes in the drone sector.
• Clear and effective communication.
• Team spirit and rapid integration.

Technical Skills:

• Drone Piloting Experience (VLOS, BVLOS, STS certificate): L3 (Min. 5 years).
• Drone Pilot Instructor Experience: L3 (Min. 5 years).
• Integrating Drone Video Feeds into Milestone: L3 (Min. 5 years).
• Testing / Integration Layer (Monitoring Tools): L2 (Min. 2 years).
• Networking Experience: L2 (Min. 2 years).
• Drone Regulatory Framework Experience: L2 (Min. 2 years).
• Integrating Drone Products into Drone Platforms: L2 (Min. 2 years).
• Drafting Tender Specifications (Public Procurement Procedures): L2 (Min. 2 years).
• Supplier Negotiation Experience: L2 (Min. 2 years).
• Languages: French & Dutch (C1: Complex Mastery); English (B2: Upper-Intermediate).
