JOB PURPOSE

The role of a Drone pilot is central to the execution of Cyberhawk’s Inspection & survey services. Working in pairs with an engineer, in often challenging environments, the Pilot is responsible for the day-to-day delivery of field flight plans to provide Cyberhawk’s engineers with reliable data to make safety critical decisions on maintenance of assets.

ABOUT THE ROLE

• This role involves a lot of travelling, occasionally for a few months at a time. You may be away from home most weeks and sometimes weekends. However, while away you will be visiting locations with amazing scenery and be well looked after in terms of accommodation and meal allowances.
• You may have to hike up and down some stunning hills, in the rain, hail or shine but don’t worry we will give you the best kit for the job, your safety is our number one priority.
• You won’t be chained to a 9-5 schedule, you may be up early one morning, or working late one night.
• You will typically work in a team of two and on occasion be in remote areas, so you need to be responsible and get on with people, at the same time impressing the client with a fantastic job done!
• We all work hard, but we try and have fun while we are doing it and with lots of regular social activities.
• Base salaries for Trainee Pilots start at £24k per year, quickly rising to £27k per year after initial training, which increases as you rise through the levels. Generous allowances are paid on top while you are working in the field – these can add up especially when you do international and offshore work – our top pilots earn over £50k a year!

• Perform Pre/In flight procedures and checks while adhering to company Procedures
