• Operate Conair air tankers on wildfire suppression missions in Canada and abroad.
• Fly safe, precise profiles in complex terrain and variable conditions.
• Adhere to strict SOPs, safety management systems, and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in initial and recurrent training to maintain currency and proficiency.

• Right to work:
  Canadian citizen or legally entitled to work in Canada; able to obtain visas for international assignments.
• Residency:
  Willing to reside in Canada during the fire season.
• Licensing:
  Canadian ATPL preferred; exceptional CPL holders close to ATPL considered.
• Medical:
  Eligible for a Transport Canada Category 1 Medical Certificate.
• Minimum flight time: 2,000 hours total time; 1,000 hours PIC; 250 hours in mountainous terrain; recent flight experience within the last 12 months.
• Seaplane/Tailwheel (role-dependent):
  For seaplane or tailwheel aircraft positions, either 500 hours PIC on seaplane in a commercial operation or 200 hours on certified tailwheel aircraft is sought; lack of this experience will not preclude consideration for other roles.
• Documents:
  Valid Canadian driver’s licence and passport.

• Maintain disciplined airmanship and precision in all phases of flight.
• Champion Conair’s safety culture, procedures, and continuous improvement practices.
