We are seeking an immediate-start Qatari Permitting Consultant to lead regulatory approvals for a series of high‑profile drone shows on a project basis. This is a mission‑critical role for the remainder of the season, requiring a seasoned professional who can begin as soon as possible and operate with minimal onboarding.

The consultant will act as the local permitting authority expert , bridging our internal flight operations teams with Qatari government entities. While the operational scope is focused, the strategic impact is significant: establishing a clear, defensible permitting process that satisfies client and government expectations and enables long‑term sustainability.

As a Qatari Permitting Consultant, you’ll be responsible for:

• Lead and manage permitting applications for drone light show operations in Qatar
• Coordinate closely with internal flight and production teams to align operational plans with regulatory requirements
• Serve as the primary liaison with relevant Qatari government authorities to ensure timely approvals and issue resolution
• Support airspace and operational deconfliction in coordination with client‑held base permits
• Advise on regulatory requirements for night‑time aerial operations and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
• Establish and document a clear internal permitting process and approval pathway to enable future self‑sufficiency
• Provide strategic guidance and documentation that can be presented to clients and stakeholders as proof of due diligence

You’ll need to have:

Demonstrated, hands‑on experience securing permits with:

• SSOC – Safety & Security Operations Committee
• MOE – Ministry of Environment
• Proven experience with night‑time aerial operations and UAS/drone regulations
• Established, active relationships within the above authorities to expedite approvals and troubleshoot issues in real time
• Strong understanding of Qatar’s regulatory landscape for special events and aviation‑adjacent operations

What we are looking for:

• Senior permitting or regulatory professional with credibility among government stakeholders
• Comfortable operating independently with minimal oversight
• Strategic mindset with the ability to translate tacit regulatory knowledge into clear internal processes
• Values discretion, professionalism, and risk mitigation
