Ok gang, this is an interesting one, and definitely read through this ad so you know what it means. If you have ever seen Google Map’s Street View, then you will have an idea about what this job entails.
Basically, you will be mapping every square inch of combat zones with a funky 360 degree camera mounted on top of your truck. It sounds pretty dangerous, do to all the road work and locations you would be going to. Imagine driving and filming ‘every road’ and back street, of all of these really screwed up countries and war zones out there?(note the contractors in the banner below, driving down a packed Iraqi street, with camera on truck) Being armed for such a thing should be required, and they hinted at it in the job ad. I am sure they will have some subcontracted security company tasked for the PSD. Just expect to do a ton of road work with this gig. I also expect to see a pretty high salary for such a thing, and I hope their insurance coverage is at a premium.
I am not the point of contact for this job, and please follow the links below if you would like to apply. They are looking for some squared away folks, who can repair and keep camera systems like this one running, as well as folks who can stand the rigors of war zones and heavy amounts of road work. Good luck. –Matt
