Airship pilot, summer job
Take Your summer to new heights đ
We are now looking for
Airship Pilot
in Joensuu for the summer period!
This is a great opportunity for example for a motivated student to join our team as an Airship Pilot for the summer. This is a hands-on role where you get to work with real airship operations and be part of building next-generation aerial monitoring solutions.
This is not a desk job â itâs an opportunity to fly, learn, and experience how advanced unmanned aerial systems are operated in real-world conditions.
What we offer
Youâll gain practical experience with unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and airship technology, working directly with experienced professionals. Youâll be part of a fast-growing company and get a front-row seat to how cutting-edge aviation technology is developed and operated.
Most importantly, this is a summer job thatâs adventurous, challenging, and genuinely fun.
What weâre looking for
Weâre looking for a student with an interest in aviation and technology, and a safety-first mindset. You donât need prior flight experience, but a basic understanding of control systems and a willingness to learn are essential.
A background in engineering or technical studies is a plus, but motivation, diligence, and a hands-on attitude matter most. You should enjoy problem-solving, be comfortable working in changing environments, and be flexible to travel or work longer days when operations require it. We see as an big advantage if you have background in building and operating drones or other radio-controlled systems.
Availability throughout the summer is expected, ideally starting with training in May.
Practical details
⢠Hourly salary: 15 âŹ/h
⢠Flexible hours at the start, increasing as summer progresses (we plan to fly a lot)
⢠Minimum ~15 hours per week early on, more during peak summer operations
⢠If you want a summer job thatâs anything but ordinary, this might be for you.
