Permanent Full Time

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.

This role supports complex BVLOS operations in congested air and ground environments. Flights will be pre‑planned, and you will work within established procedures, but this environment requires stronger judgement and previous BVLOS experience. The RP will act as the person‑in‑the‑loop (PITL), manage the GCS, maintain airspace and ground picture awareness, and support operational planning.

• Conduct BVLOS missions in complex, congested areas within approved procedures.
• Maintain real‑time situational awareness across airspace, ground risk, and GCS systems.
• Follow all Con Ops, permissions, mitigations, and safety procedures.
• Carry out all pre‑flight and post‑flight actions.
• Manage data capture, mission monitoring, and escalation routes.

Safety and Compliance

• Maintain competency and engineering authorisation standards.
• Support incident reporting, safety analysis, and corrective actions.
• Ensure all flight documentation is complete and accurate.

Technical and Operational Support

• Assist with TOLP reviews, mission planning, and site assessments.
• Support ROCs when missions are flown remotely.
• Liaise with ATC or site authorities when required.

• FAA Part 107.
• Proven BVLOS flying experience (mandatory for PANYNJ).
• Experience flying in congested or controlled airspace.
• Strong situational awareness and risk management skills.
• Able to work calmly during complex flights.
• Good technical understanding of GCS workflows.

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.
• Flexible working arrangements and a supportive team culture.
