Our Ideal Candidate (Who we are looking for)
Our ideal candidate is a team player with a strong piloting background, comprehensive familiarity of the LA Basin, and is someone who adapts to work in a fast paced, highly collaborative environment. Our ideal candidate embraces the importance of safety, teamwork, communication, and contribution to the day to day interests of the work environment. Excellent judgment, observation skills, an eye for details, and a knack for picking up on environmental and unspoken queues is essential. Our ideal candidate can assimilate multiple streams of information quickly, prioritizing and making decisions based on the constant stream of information that is ever-present in an ENG environment.
If you’re the type of person who likes the unpredictable within a predictable schedule, this could be a good fit for you. If you’re positively inclined to receive feedback, debrief each assignment, and continuously refine your ENG-related piloting skills with feedback and experience, this is an excellent opportunity.
