Chief Pilot
Aerowork is seeking an experienced Chief Pilot to lead our flight operations across New Zealand. This is a senior leadership role with genuine scope and influence — you will be responsible for the safety, performance, and development of a geographically dispersed pilot group, while supporting the continued growth of one of New Zealand's leading agricultural aviation businesses.
The Chief Pilot oversees all flight operations, ensuring compliance with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations, maintaining operational safety standards, and managing pilot training and performance.
You will lead and manage our pilot group, who are based in different parts of the country and operate from Aerowork-owned or leased airstrips and aerodromes. Due to the nature of agricultural aviation and the weather windows that dictate flying schedules, oversight of flight operations will at times extend into weekends, with higher workloads during the main spreading seasons in Autumn and Spring.
