• Join a team that values professionalism, safety, and people. Blackhawk is known for its strong culture, high standards, and commitment to doing things right - the first time and every time.
• Travel, variety, and hands-on flying. You'll conduct concierge aircraft movements, fly aircraft across North America (and occasionally internationally), support sales demonstrations, and serve customers in various capacities. No two weeks are the same.

A professional aviator who:

• Loves flying high-performance turboprops
• Is comfortable interacting with customers, owners, and company leadership
• Takes pride in safety, precision, and operational excellence
• Is energized by a role with variety, travel, and responsibility
