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.

About the Role:

Skyports is recruiting Hub Operators (HOs) under our Skyports Hub Operator Programme (SHOP). This role supports drone flight operations by ensuring the aircraft, launch sites, and ground processes run smoothly and safely. You'll be working closely with Remote Pilots and other team members to deliver drone services across delivery, inspection, and surveillance missions. This is flexible, project-based work. You choose which deployments you want to support. Project length can range from 1 week to 8+ weeks. We expect you to take part in at least 2–3 projects each year, but you're welcome to do more. With operations running around the world, there are always opportunities to get involved and support our ground teams.

Key responsibilities include:

Set up and secure drone landing and take-off points (TOLPs)

Keep your ground procedures and documentation knowledge up to date
Complete refresher training as needed before deployments

You may be required to travel domestically or internationally for deployments. Full training will be provided before you begin.

About you:

Safety conscious, with a calm and focused approach
Comfortable working outdoors and in varied environments
Happy to travel and be away from home on deployments
Practical and hands-on with kit and tools
Good communicators and team players
Reliable, punctual, and detail-focused
