Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

Key responsibilities handled during inspections, roof analysis, and client reporting.

Operated UAVs to capture high-resolution top-down and angled imagery of residential roofing systems.

Inspected roofs for damage including missing shingles, wind-lifted shingles, and localized material deterioration.

Analyzed ridges, valleys, roof planes, and penetrations needed for area calculations.

Captured imagery used for roof area estimation and material quantity takeoffs.

Managed image datasets so observations could be traced back to final estimates.

Documented findings and shared results with internal teams and clients to support repair planning and quotations.

Client & Team Interaction

Worked directly with clients to explain inspection findings, damage locations, and repair scope.

Communicated technical observations clearly to non-technical audiences.

Coordinated with internal teams to align inspection data with estimation and scheduling needs.

Roof Measurement & Estimation

Used aerial roof imagery to support area measurements, pitch review, and quote preparation for residential roofing projects.

Top-Down Roof Inspection

Captured full roof coverage from above to identify roof planes, ridges, valleys, penetrations, and visible damage patterns.

Live UAV Field Operation

Operated drone equipment on-site while monitoring flight position, image framing, and roof visibility during inspections.

Damage Documentation

Collected close inspection images showing missing shingles, lifted material, and localized roof deterioration for repair planning.
