Airbotics Talent are supporting a pioneering drone client at the forefront of aerial innovation and data collection. With strong growth in the North American market, our client is expanding their on-the-ground operations and seeking a Chief Pilot to lead customer missions, demonstrations, and regional operations across the US.

This is a full-time, on-site position based at the company’s Houston operation. You’ll be the go-to pilot and UAV expert—responsible for showcasing the technology, supporting field deployments, and ensuring a world-class customer experience.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead Piloting & Field Operations : Act as the lead UAV operator for on-site missions, product demonstrations, and commercial deployments.

Customer Success : Support clients throughout their journey—from onboarding and training to live mission execution—ensuring adoption, satisfaction, and long-term success.

Product Demonstrations : Conduct on-site demos and proof-of-concept flights to showcase capabilities and drive customer confidence.

Training & Enablement : Deliver in-depth, hands-on training to empower customer teams to operate the UAV platform safely and effectively.

Technical Support : Provide in-field and remote support, including first-line diagnostics, troubleshooting, and basic repairs.

Operational Oversight : Manage the Houston-based drone operations site, including inventory, logistics, and basic site coordination.

Flight Logging & Compliance : Maintain flight records, safety checklists, and ensure all operations are Part 107 compliant.

The Person

We’re looking for an experienced UAV operator with outstanding technical knowledge, a customer-first mindset, and the ability to thrive in dynamic, real-world environments.

Ideal candidates will bring :

• Significant hands-on drone piloting experience and a valid Part 107 license

• Strong customer-facing skills and a passion for technology adoption

• A technical background with experience in troubleshooting and basic drone maintenance

• The ability to work independently in the field with minimal supervision

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills

• Willingness to travel frequently across the US and Canada

• Experience in operational roles, including inventory management or projects, is a plus

• Familiarity with commercial UAV use cases in energy, infrastructure, or industrial sectors is advantageous

This is a rare opportunity to take the lead UAV role at a fast-scaling drone company and have a real impact across North American operations. To apply confidentially, please submit your resume today for immediate consideration.
