  • Monitor the aircraft in flight and maintain situational awareness.
  • Follow ConOps, risk assessments, and local permissions.

  • Maintain aircraft serviceability and quarantine unserviceable equipment.
  • Keep competency, currency, and engineering authorisations at the correct level.
  • Record flights accurately in Alaris/Centrik.
  • Support ROCs, ground tasks, and set-ups where required.
  • Represent Skyports professionally on customer sites.

What You Need

  • Good understanding of aviation basics and VLOS procedures.
  • Able to follow structured processes.
  • Good communication and attention to detail.
  • Willingness to travel between customer sites.
