- Champion a strong reporting culture and contribute to the Safety Management System through fleet safety activities and risk management.
- Lead, mentor and develop a team of pilots, ensuring training, succession planning and professional development remain at the forefront.
- Act as the fleet Subject Matter Expert, supporting programme delivery, technical enhancements and future opportunities.
- Build strong relationships with customers and key stakeholders, representing Draken both operationally and professionally.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a leader first and foremost.
Someone who can inspire confidence on the flight deck, engage effectively with customers, develop those around them and uphold the standards expected of a senior representative of Draken. You'll be comfortable balancing operational flying, people leadership and strategic thinking whilst maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety.
