The role:
Our South American operation is expanding quickly, driven by energy, mining, and infrastructure clients across Brazil, Colombia, and the Southern Cone. Flight Operations Coordinators are the human core of RAAD's mission network: you plan capture days, coordinate pilots in the field, clear regulatory and site-access hurdles before they cost a flying day, and make sure every dataset lands on time and to spec.
What you'll do:
Plan and dispatch daily missions across the region: pilot assignment, routing, weather windows, and client time constraints.
Be the direct line for pilots in the field — resolving site access, airspace, and equipment issues in real time.
Manage regulatory workflows with ANAC/DECEA in Brazil and civil aviation authorities across neighboring countries: authorizations, restricted zones, and operator documentation.
Coordinate access and compliance for energy and oil & gas sites — refineries, pipelines, offshore support facilities — where permitting, safety inductions, and client HSE requirements drive the schedule.
Track capture quality and turnaround, feeding operational lessons back into planning tools.
What you'll bring:
3+ years in flight operations, UAV operations coordination, logistics dispatch, or similar high-tempo coordination roles.
Working knowledge of Brazilian drone regulation (ANAC RBAC-E No. 94, SARPAS) and an aptitude for navigating regulators across the region.
Professional fluency in Portuguese and English; Spanish is a strong plus.
Experience working with or around energy-sector site requirements (permits to work, HSE inductions) is highly valued.
