Jesse Aguilar
@jesseaguilar
I coordinate utility field operations, GIS projects, and FAA Part 107 UAV missions from planning through quality delivery.
What I'm looking for
I've coordinated GIS, utility-infrastructure, and field operations work for the City of Goodyear, Maricopa County, Quanta Telecommunications, and utility organizations. My work turns engineering records, surveys, and field data into reliable maps, applications, reports, and infrastructure data products.
I manage concurrent technical assignments by defining requirements, tracking priorities, resolving discrepancies, and keeping customers, crews, IT teams, and agency stakeholders informed. I've also trained GIS users and junior analysts, assigned work, and supported teams through changing operational needs.
Since 2016, I've performed commercial multirotor UAV work and now plan FAA Part 107-compliant missions, establish control points, process RINEX-based PPK corrections, and quality-check point-cloud deliverables. I bring hands-on experience with utility networks, GNSS, photogrammetry, GIS QA/QC, and field-to-office workflows.
