About This Role
A2G International, an independent provider of outsourced manned Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) services, is hiring a Pilot in Command (PIC) to fly the Cessna 337G/H Skymaster on contracted ISR flight operations — an opening that is contingent upon contract award. The PIC performs all operational duties including flight planning, pre- and post-flight activities, and coordination with the on-board Mission Systems Operators (MSOs), executing missions as directed by the Site Operations Manager and the A2G Program Chief Pilot. Pilots are employed only while training or on CONUS/OCONUS deployment rotations and are otherwise placed on leave without pay unless authorized by management. Training is conducted in Titusville, FL, and relocation is not required. PICs may take on additional duties such as Aviation Safety Pilot, Airspace Coordinator, Pilot Scheduler, Tactical Operations Officer or Flight Operations Manager. Applications are managed through Pacifico Energy Group's hiring portal, but all employment terms and onboarding are handled directly by A2G.
