Skyports Drone Services uses drones to streamline logistics, capture data, and enhance operational efficiency, with a focus on rural deliveries, surveying, surveillance, and maritime services.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyse data & GIS insights using tools like Excel and QGIS
• Evaluate drone manufacturers and make recommendations that will shape the Skyports fleet

• Ensure aircraft availability by analysing performance data and liaising with OEMs
