About Us
Carbonix is a leading Australian manufacturer and operator of long-range RPAS platforms for enterprise and government customers. We specialize in BVLOS operations, delivering advanced aerial survey and inspection services.
About the Role
We are looking for someone to own the link between our production floor and our field operations. This is the role for a pilot, mission planner or engineer who has decided they want to run operations. You will take on the day to day production tasks, make sure engineering changes get onto the aircraft, and be the person who knows the status and readiness of every drone, trailer and ground kit we own. If it goes to site, it goes through you. You will work across the production, engineering and flight operations teams, and see the whole picture from build to deployment. It is a direct path into an operations management role.
Key Responsibilities
Run the day to day production task list — assign work, track progress, and be the single point of truth on what is available.
About You
- Background as a remote drone/UAV pilot, mission planner, or a mechanical / manufacturing / aeronautical engineer would be a plus.
- Experience running jobs to a deadline — coordinating people, suppliers or trades.
- Organised. You keep your own tracking current without being chased.
- Comfortable working in a ticketing system every day. Jira experience preferred, any equivalent accepted.
- This role is very much hands on.
- Must hold a valid car driver's licence.
- Must hold valid working rights in Australia.
- Highly desirable: CASA RePL, or experience in RPAS operations.
- Highly desirable: exposure to maintenance records, configuration control or airworthiness processes.
- Highly desirable: familiarity with Ardupilot or similar autopilot systems.
Benefits
- A direct pathway into an operations management role as the company scales.
- Full visibility across the business — design, build, and the aircraft flying.
- Exposure to complex BVLOS survey and inspection operations using cutting edge RPAS technology.
- Structured training on our aircraft, systems and processes.
