First Job Consultation (On-Site Coaching for Your First Sherpa Jobs)

Skip the classroom and get expert help where it matters most—on your jobsite. A Lucid Training Specialist partners with your team during a live job or pre-bid walkthrough to de-risk first deployments, accelerate your learning curve, and lock in efficient, safe workflows.

Best for: Teams launching their first Sherpa jobs, estimators scoping new sites, and operations leads who want real-world coaching.

What’s Included

1) Pre-Bid Planning (Virtual)

• Site review & obstacle assessment

• Identify ideal flight paths and take-off/landing zones

• Chemical spot testing guidance & equipment checklist

2) Two On-The-Job Training Days

• Live Sherpa setup & site preparations

• Guided drone cleaning operations with real-time coaching

• End-of-day debrief and optimization plan

Your Team Will Walk Away With

• Proven, repeatable cleaning workflows for speed and consistency

• Confidence in manual mode, battery management, and troubleshooting

• Immediate, real-world experience operating Sherpa on an actual job

What This Is Not

• Not a crew replacement. Your team performs the work. Our trainer may pilot in challenging areas, but your pilots fly most of the job.

• Not a full exterior-cleaning class. Focus is on Sherpa best practices, not rig configuration or chemical selection.

• No “leap-frogging” experience. We’ll only accept jobs within the safe scope of your current operational abilities.

• We don’t do the cleaning for you. Our trainers do not perform the cleaning work. It is your team’s responsibility to ensure your chemical mix, rig setup, and water system are suitable for your building. The Sherpa is the application tool; the cleaning results depend on your chosen equipment and chemistry.

Requirements (Before We Book)

• Completion of Sherpa Academy (online)

• FAA Part 107-licensed pilot (U.S.) or local equivalent

• Your Sherpa drone, batteries, and appropriate cleaning equipment on site

• PPE for all crew (e.g., hard hats, high-vis, eye protection)

• Jobsite review & approval by Lucid Bots

• LAANC-approved airspace only (no complex waivers)

• Stand-alone building ≤ 14 stories in a low-traffic environment

How Scheduling Works

1. Order Confirmation

   You’ll receive a confirmation email with next steps.

2. Quick Intake & Goals

   Your rep will gather basics (job address, dates you’re considering, crew size/roles, and your objectives for the visit).

3. Site Fit Review (Pre-Bid or Pre-Visit)

   We review property details (photos, map pin, building height/materials, hose/water access, power availability) to confirm fit for Sherpa and for safe training.

4. Date Hold & Confirmation

   Your rep proposes available dates. Once you approve, we lock the calendar and send a brief pre-visit checklist.

5. Pre-Visit Touchpoint

   Final logistics (arrival time, parking/staging, on-site contact, PPE, rig setup) and any last questions.

Weather & Airspace

If weather or airspace conditions make flying unsafe or non-compliant, your rep will work with you to adjust the plan or reschedule.
