As an FM crewmember, **Sensor Operators (SO)** join a world-class team, operating advanced electronic sensor systems, aboard long

Flying as rotational crew aboard our DHC-8-300 and B200T special-mission aircraft, individuals must be able to work independently, as well as part of our motivated, close-knit, group of professionals; working together to deliver mission outputs required by our military, government, and civilian clients.

In addition to the tactical employment of onboard sensors systems, SOs in this role are often called upon to maintain safety-of-flight when operating IMC, often at low altitude, in the maritime environment.

**Responsibilities**:
Duties and responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

- Maintain a tactical operating picture using a variety of mission management systems and equipment configurations
- Maintain a timely and accurate record of the location, distribution, and identification of detected targets
- Assist the TACCO:

- Conducting pre-flight planning and brief crew and client on mission requirements and constraints.
- Monitoring, understanding, and communicating the capabilities and limitations of the sensors and mission systems.
- Assisting with pre-flight preparations, ensuring mission equipment is correctly configured.
- In-flight planning and coordination, based on inclement weather and detected target disposition.
- Record, annotate, and disseminate all information products during flight surveillance missions.
- Participating in post-flight debriefings and reporting duties.

**Career Advancement**
FM SOs can further their job opportunities by advancing to the role of **Tactical Coordinator (TACCO)**, working with the Aircraft Captain to manage the tactical deployment of aircraft capabilities, while operating our comprehensive U/VHF, HF, LOS and BLOS communications suites. SOs may be called upon to prepare and drop stores, such as marine markers, datum marker buoys, and air-droppable life rafts.

**Minimum Qualifications**:

- Experience operating mission management systems in the airborne environment.
- Minimum of 4-years experience operating airborne multi-mode radar systems.
- Minimum of 2-years experience operating EO/IR equipment.
- Knowledge of airborne surveillance, tactical navigation, and communications.
- Experience in anti-surface warfare (ASuW), counter-narcotics, and search and rescue is considered an asset.
- Experience operating HF, UHF, and VHF radios and satellite voice and data communication systems.
- Must be able to obtain required security clearances.

**Preferred Qualifications**:

- Excellent CRM with experience in a multi-crew environment is preferred.
- Experience on Dash-8 aircraft is considered an asset.

- Proficient with Microsoft Windows OS and baseline Microsoft Office products.
- Holds a valid drivers license.

**Physical Working Environment**:

- Able to work in an aircraft cabin environment, flying 4-6-hour missions in our smaller B200T surveillance aircraft, with 8-9-hour missions in our larger DHC-8-300 platforms.
- Travel with the aircraft on a rotational basis for extended rotations domestically and internationally; sometimes at short notice; operating in all weather, seasons, and terrain.
- Accommodation ranges from hotel accommodation to crew-house environments.
- Work during early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays during On Duty periods.
- Able to meet medical testing requirements.
- Able to swim and complete Underwater Egress Training.

- Competitive base salary
- Personal travel privileges with PAL and interline agreements with multiple airlines
- Industry discounts
- Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
