Remote Pilot Specialist

2 weeks ago

Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom Skyports Deliveries Limited Full time €60,000 - €120,000 per year

The Role

We're looking for a Remote Pilot Specialist with proven defense or commercial flying experience to join our fast-growing Drone Services team. This role is not just about piloting — it's about owning complex operations, contributing to strategic missions, and helping us push the boundaries of what's possible in aviation.

You'll be flying the latest drones, in places most people never get to go, solving problems that actually make a difference — from offshore energy logistics to surveillance. If you're looking for a desk job, this isn't it.

There's no such thing as a normal week in this role.

  • One week, you could be flying emergency response missions in one of the busiest ports in the world — responding to real incidents and helping port authorities act fast.
  • The next, you're in our Singapore ROC, remotely piloting drones to deliver cargo to vessels across the anchorage.
  • You might be flying environmental surveillance missions for the Public Utilities Board — monitoring reservoirs, shorelines, or flood zones.
  • You could also be travelling to Brunei or the UAE to help set up new flight operations — training local teams, running test missions, and getting the operation live.
  • And when you're not flying, you're working from home or the regional office — planning missions, writing reports, logging flights, and keeping your skills sharp.
  • You'll also spend time overseas — like in the UK — training on new aircraft with our global team and learning from some of the best BVLOS instructors in the world.

Wherever you are, your job stays the same: fly safely, deliver well, and keep pushing the boundaries of what drones can do.

About you

  • You're a certified Remote Pilot with solid defence or commercial flying experience, proven capability in BVLOS operations, and a strong grasp of drone platforms, maintenance, and systems integration.
  • You're not just a pilot — you're a mission owner. You excel in ConOps development, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance, ensuring each operation is safe, efficient, and future-ready.
  • You've led teams in high-pressure environments and understand what it takes to deliver results. Whether managing field teams or collaborating with clients, you communicate with clarity and confidence.
  • You thrive on complexity and are always looking to push boundaries.
  • You have an insatiable curiosity for learning and growth. With Skyports, you're eager to expand your horizons, taking on new challenges and continuously enhancing your skills alongside the world's leading BVLOS drone experts.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work in an innovative and growing industry.
  • A collaborative and dynamic work environment with ample opportunities for professional development.
  • A supportive team culture.

How to Apply:

If you're passionate about aviation and keen to be part of a pioneering company that is changing the future of transportation, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining your experience and why you're a great fit for this role.

Skyports is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
