Full job description

Remote Pilot Specialist (Freelance Contractor)

Location: Germany (Frankfurt-based preferred) with travel as required

Department: Flight Operations

Contract Type: Freelance / Independent Contractor

The Role

Skyports is seeking experienced Remote Pilot Specialists to support our growing Drone Services operations across Germany and Europe on a freelance basis.

This role goes far beyond piloting. We're looking for highly capable operators who can take ownership of complex missions, contribute to operational planning, and support the safe delivery of advanced drone operations across a variety of environments.

You will be operating cutting-edge drone platforms in support of commercial, industrial, and public-sector missions, including logistics, inspections, surveillance, emergency response, and maritime operations.

Assignments may range from local deployments in Germany to supporting operational activities elsewhere in Europe and internationally, depending on project requirements.

No two projects are the same.

You may be conducting drone deliveries to offshore assets, supporting critical infrastructure inspections, assisting with environmental monitoring operations, or helping establish new flight operations in emerging markets. Between deployments, you may support mission planning, operational documentation, risk assessments, training activities, and regulatory compliance work remotely.

Wherever you are, your responsibility remains the same: deliver safe, professional, and effective drone operations while helping advance the future of aviation.

About You

Certified Remote Pilot with relevant EU drone qualifications and permissions.
Proven commercial, defence, public safety, or industrial drone operations experience.
Demonstrated BVLOS operational experience is highly desirable.
Strong understanding of drone systems, maintenance, troubleshooting, and operational planning.
Experience developing Concept of Operations (ConOps), risk assessments, and operational procedures.
Excellent understanding of aviation safety principles and regulatory compliance requirements.
Comfortable working independently and representing Skyports professionally with clients and stakeholders.
Strong communication and reporting skills.
Willingness to travel extensively within Germany and internationally when required.
Fluent German and professional English language skills preferred.

What We Offer

Opportunity to work on some of the most advanced commercial drone operations in the world.
Flexible project-based engagements.
Competitive day rates or project-based remuneration.
Exposure to international operations and emerging aviation technologies.
Collaboration with a global team of experienced BVLOS operators and aviation professionals.
Potential for long-term contractor engagements based on project requirements and performance.

How to Apply

If you are an experienced drone operator looking to work on challenging and innovative projects, we'd love to hear from you.

Please submit your CV together with a brief summary of your operational experience, qualifications, availability, and expected day rate.

Skyports is committed to creating an inclusive environment and welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
