Description:

We’re hiring a Flight Dispatcher — the one who charts the course, watches the skies, and keeps flights safe from the ground up. You’ll be the unseen force coordinating aircraft movements, weather conditions, and crew schedules with precision and speed. While passengers sip coffee at the gate, you’ll already be deep into wind speeds, pressure maps, and runway conditions. You’ll monitor air traffic, reroute flights due to weather or emergencies, and communicate updates with clarity and urgency. Every line on your screen represents lives, cargo, timelines — and you treat them with focus and responsibility. When conditions shift mid-air, you’ll be the calm voice guiding the crew through alternative routing and procedures. When storms roll in or delays pile up, you’ll stay steady, adapting plans with grace and confidence. You’re not just reactive — you’re proactive, predicting delays, spotting risks, and making fast, informed decisions. You’ll monitor each flight as it happens, like a conductor listening to every note in a moving symphony. You’ll keep impeccable records, not just for compliance — but because you believe in being accountable for every decision.

Basic Qualifications:

• Support recovery planning during irregular ops—finding alternate routings, adjusting connections, and minimizing disruption impact.
• Evaluate meteorological data including turbulence reports, wind speeds, icing conditions, and visibility to make safety-first operational decisions.
• Maintain constant communication with flight crews to provide updates on weather, airspace closures, or operational changes.
• Coordinate with air traffic control, ground operations, and airport personnel to manage timely departures and arrivals.
• Ultimately, act as the pilot on the ground—ensuring every flight is planned, monitored, and supported with expert care.

Preferred:

• Understands how to reroute or delay flights due to technical, crew, or environmental issues.
• Willing to assist with delay management, crew coordination, and fleet status updates.
• Strong multitasking skills and attention to detail under time-sensitive conditions.
• Able to prioritize and escalate issues that may impact flight safety or legality.
• Background or certification in aviation, air traffic management, or flight operations.

Benefits:

• Shift-based schedule — day, night, and rotating coverage options to match your rhythm and operational needs.
• You’ll participate in incident reviews, route optimizations, and operational briefings — your insight shapes policy.
• Your decisions directly impact safety, fuel efficiency, and operational success — and that responsibility is respected.
• You’ll help keep crews informed, passengers safe, and the airline on schedule — that’s real impact.
• You’ll be recognized for your ability to stay cool in high-stakes moments — and that skill grows every day.

You’ll use advanced dispatch software and radar tracking tools, but your mindset and training are the real engines behind success. You’ll use advanced flight planning tools, but your best assets will always be instinct, training, and sound judgment. You’ll thrive under pressure, not because it’s easy, but because you’ve trained your mind to stay clear when it counts most. You’ll keep meticulous records and logs — not just for protocol, but because every detail matters when safety is on the line. Every day you’ll write a dozen invisible flight paths — and feel proud when every one of them ends exactly as it should. You won’t be on the runway when the wheels lift off, but you’ll know: you made that moment possible. If you’re passionate about aviation, think like an engineer, and react like a firefighter, this is where you belong — at the nerve center of every journey. This role isn’t glamorous — but for those who love aviation deeply, it’s as vital as the aircraft itself. If you think in maps, listen to the weather, and find peace in control — welcome to dispatch.
