About The Role

Skyports is recruiting Hub Operators (HOs) under our Skyports Hub Operator Programme (SHOP). This role supports drone flight operations by ensuring the aircraft, launch sites, and ground processes run smoothly and safely. You’ll be working closely with Remote Pilots and other team members to deliver drone services across delivery, inspection, and surveillance missions. This is flexible, project‑based work. You choose which deployments you want to support. Project length can range from 1 week to 8+ weeks. We expect you to take part in at least 2–3 projects each year, but you’re welcome to do more. With operations running around the world, there are always opportunities to get involved and support our ground teams.

• Ensure proper logbook and maintenance record‑keeping
• Support the team with kit handling and refueling
• Keep your ground procedures and documentation knowledge up to date

• Happy to travel and be away from home on deployments
• Practical and hands‑on with kit and tools
• Good communicators and team players
• Reliable, punctual, and detail‑focused
