About Us:

Founded in 2018, Skyports is at the forefront of the Advanced Air Mobility revolution, developing and operating cutting-edge infrastructure for electric air taxis and leveraging drone technology to transform business operations across industries.

Our business is split into two key areas:

• 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.
• Skyports Infrastructure plays a vital role in the Urban Air Mobility ecosystem, designing, building, owning, and operating vertiports that enable eVTOL operators to take off and land in cities around the world.

With our presence in this dynamic, high-growth industry, there has never been a more exciting time to be part of our mission to reshape the future of air mobility.

The Role:

You will fly our diverse fleet of drone systems (both manual and automated piloting) for drone delivery, survey, and surveillance. You will also be involved in proof-of-concept projects in the region as we expand our operations throughout Asia Pacific. Reporting to the Flight Operations Manager, you will be part of a team who provides services to our customers with drone-agnostic solutions to solve real world problems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Learn how to set up and operate complex BVLOS.
• Be in charge of ground handling, pre-flight, post flight, routine maintenance of drone systems, as well as installation of ground-based infrastructure at take-off and landing sites.
• Be deployed on projects both domestically and internationally - you will be required to travel and should be comfortable traveling to various geographies on short notice for extended period of time, typically 4 to 8 weeks.
• Support a shift rotation that provides operational output seven days a week. Every Remote Pilot works 5 days a week with at least 2 days off.

About You:

• Possess a current Unmanned Aircraft Pilots License (UAPL).
• Responsible individual with a high level of safety standard.
• Have strong communication skills - Skyports has a just culture that is heavily reliant on our Remote Pilots being open and honest.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, as well as ability to think on your feet and complete tasks.
• Self-starter who is highly motivated and proactive, and enjoy challenges.
• Possess a valid Class 3 Driving License.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work in an innovative and growing industry.
• A collaborative and dynamic work environment with ample opportunities for professional development.
• Flexible working arrangements and a supportive team culture.
