Offering custom airborne solutions using specialised hardware, equipment, and personnel to meet our customers diverse needs, DEA are offering an exciting opportunity for ambitious and driven pilots to join our team.

If this sounds like the role for you, then DEA welcome you to become part of our close-knit and dynamic team.

About you

  • High professional standards. Confident, competent, and independently diligent in your professional approach to flying, fostering an atmosphere of safety in all areas.
  • Adventurous spirit. Enjoy spending time away from home, embracing the varied nature of your work and operating autonomously in a dynamic environment where plans may change at short notice.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
