Schaeffer Shockley

@schaeffershockley

Operations Manager at Arch Aerial, coordinating aerial projects and increasing project revenue by 26% through Excel cost analysis.

United States
Message

At Arch Aerial LLC, I manage large-scale aerial projects for Fortune 100 clients, coordinating client communication, scheduling, and safe execution.

I currently lead a remote team of 17 staff members and subcontractors across the U.S. eastern seaboard. I also coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, and Federal Aviation Administration to enable drone operations in secure refineries and critical infrastructure.

When I identified a missed client-driven scope change, I used Excel cost analysis to justify a price adjustment that increased project revenue by 26%. I also negotiate with vendors and subcontractors and support bid preparation.

Previously, as a UAS Pilot at Arch Aerial LLC, I executed aerial missions for construction and energy clients, maintained aircraft and vehicle readiness, and troubleshot aviation equipment. My certifications include FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot, NCCER Certified Instructor, Pipeline Operator Qualification, and TWIC.
