TEKEVER
The hiring underscores the rapid growth of the commercial UAS market and the increasing demand for professionally certified pilots to ensure safe, regulated operations. Skilled remote pilots are becoming critical assets for defence and surveillance providers expanding globally.
The commercial unmanned aerial systems (UAS) sector is accelerating, with global revenues projected to exceed €30 billion by 2028. Companies that combine autonomous flight with real‑time data analytics are capturing the most value, and Europe’s Tekever has positioned itself as a leader in this niche. By offering surveillance‑as‑a‑service across maritime, defence, space and cyber domains, Tekever creates a steady stream of mission contracts that require highly skilled remote pilots. The new Remote Pilot role reflects the industry’s shift from hobbyist operators to professional, regulation‑driven flight crews.
The Remote Pilot will act as the operational backbone for Tekever’s mission‑critical flights, overseeing flight planning, pre‑flight checks, real‑time interventions, and post‑mission debriefs. Compliance with CAA/EASA standards, meticulous record‑keeping, and rapid emergency response are non‑negotiable in high‑risk environments such as offshore wind farms or contested airspace. By mentoring junior operators and feeding performance data back into product development, the pilot directly influences the safety envelope and reliability of Tekever’s platforms, from MALE‑class H900 to HALE‑class MQ systems. This feedback loop accelerates iterative improvements and strengthens the company’s competitive edge.
For candidates, the position offers more than a paycheck. Tekever bundles a performance‑linked bonus, up to 10 % pension matching, and comprehensive medical coverage, signaling a long‑term investment in talent. The role also promises exposure to multinational customers across the UK, Portugal, the United States and broader Europe, expanding professional networks and operational experience. As governments tighten UAS regulations and defence budgets prioritize autonomous surveillance, skilled remote pilots will become scarce assets. Joining Tekever now places professionals at the forefront of a market poised for sustained growth and technological innovation.
