The role Our DACH operation supports utilities, manufacturing, and energy clients with recurring monitoring and inspection programs. Germany's regulatory environment is precise and its industrial clients expect the same — this role is for a coordinator who thrives on getting the details right, at volume, across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. What you'll do Coordinate daily missions across the DACH region: pilot dispatch, weather calls, site access, and delivery timelines. Manage regulatory compliance under EASA rules as implemented by the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) and Austrian/Swiss authorities — operational authorizations, geographical zones, and insurance documentation. Plan operations around energy infrastructure — grid corridors, gas storage and pipeline networks, chemical parks — where site operators impose their own strict access and safety regimes on top of aviation rules. Run recurring monitoring programs with clockwork reliability: same sites, tight capture specifications, and clients who notice a day's slip. Recruit and support pilots across the region, upholding RAAD's capture and safety standards. What you'll bring 3+ years in flight/UAV operations, utility field coordination, or comparable operational roles. Working knowledge of the EASA UAS framework and German implementation (LBA processes, geo-zones, §21h LuftVO context). Professional fluency in German and English. Experience with utility or energy-sector clients and their HSE/access processes is a strong plus.
