Ex-Mil Recruitment has been asked to recruit an experienced UAS Remote Pilot for a rapidly expanding organisation operating at the forefront of unmanned aviation, defence and security.

This is an unusual and potentially very interesting opportunity for someone with a military flying, UAS, aviation or instructional background who wants to remain close to operational flying while moving into the rapidly developing unmanned aviation sector.

The position will involve frequent deployments to customer locations within the UK, Europe, Portugal and the United States, so candidates must be comfortable with a significant amount of international travel.

As a UAS Remote Pilot, you will play an important role in the safe and effective delivery of UAS operations.
