Drone Hub Operator, Singapore

About the Role:

Skyports is recruiting Hub Operators (HOs) under our Skyports Hub Operator Programme (SHOP). This role supports drone flight operations by ensuring the aircraft, launch sites, and ground processes run smoothly and safely. You’ll be working closely with Remote Pilots and other team members to deliver drone services across delivery, inspection, and surveillance missions. This is flexible, project-based work. You choose which deployments you want to support. Project length can range from 1 week to 8+ weeks. We expect you to take part in at least 2–3 projects each year, but you’re welcome to do more. With operations running around the world, there are always opportunities to get involved and support our ground teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Set up and secure drone landing and take-off points (TOLPs)
• Carry out basic aircraft maintenance (Level 1) and battery management
• Assist with launch, monitoring, and recovery of flights
• Maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft when required
• Watch out for environmental or safety hazards and report them
• Ensure proper logbook and maintenance record-keeping
• Support the team with kit handling and refueling
• Keep your ground procedures and documentation knowledge up to date
• Complete refresher training as needed before deployments

You may be required to travel domestically or internationally for deployments. Full training will be provided before you begin.

About you:

We’re looking for people who are:

• Safety conscious, with a calm and focused approach
• Comfortable working outdoors and in varied environments
• Happy to travel and be away from home on deployments
• Practical and hands-on with kit and tools
• Good communicators and team players
• Reliable, punctual, and detail-focused
• Physically able to manage drone and battery handling tasks

You do not need a drone license. This is a ground-based role, and full training is provided. You must be based in Singapore.
