Remote Pilot, Finland (Contractor/Freelance)

Job Title: Remote Pilot

Location: Finland
Department: Flight Operations, Drone Services
Type: Freelancer/Contractor

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.

The Role

Skyports is seeking experienced Remote Pilot Specialists to support our growing Drone Services operations across Finland 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 Finland 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 Finland and internationally when required.

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.
