• Manage data capture, mission monitoring, and escalation routes.

Safety and Compliance

• Maintain competency and engineering authorisation standards.
• Support incident reporting, safety analysis, and corrective actions.
• Ensure all flight documentation is complete and accurate.

Technical and Operational Support

• Assist with TOLP reviews, mission planning, and site assessments.
• Support ROCs when missions are flown remotely.
• Liaise with ATC or site authorities when required.

• Experience flying in congested or controlled airspace.
• Strong situational awareness and risk management skills.
• Able to work calmly during complex flights.
• Good technical understanding of GCS workflows.
