CAPTAIN - EMBRAER LEGACY 650

A rewarding opportunity is available for a highly experienced and talented aviation professional to join a reputable business jet operator as a Captain on the Embraer Legacy 650. Business jet aviation presents a challenging and varied environment that demands a wide range of skills, offering an extremely interesting and fulfilling career path for individuals with a core passion for flying. This organisation is committed to employing only the most skilled pilots possessing a wealth of experience and the necessary licences and ratings.

Safety is paramount in all flight operations, with a strong emphasis placed on ensuring flight crews are thoroughly trained and prepared. The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to place safety at the core of every decision made.

Role Overview and Responsibilities

The Captain is responsible for operating the aircraft in strict accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), company Operations Manuals, and the Aircraft Flight Manual.

As a key member of the flight crew, the Captain is expected to possess excellent flying proficiency, strong interpersonal communication abilities, and sharp decision-making skills. A commitment to providing the highest level of customer care is essential, operating within a highly competitive market segment where exceptional service and commercial awareness are critical. The role requires immaculate presentation at all times, adherence to high operational standards, acute safety awareness, and exceptional crew resource management (CRM) skills. Customer service excellence and operational efficiency should be intrinsic qualities.

This is a permanent, full-time position primarily based in the UK. Operations follow a fixed roster, predominantly flying within the UK and Europe. However, the company holds a Worldwide AOC, which may necessitate operations outside these regions. Previous worldwide operational experience is therefore a distinct advantage. Flexibility is also a valued attribute due to the dynamic nature of the business.

• Embraer Legacy 650 type rating.
• Minimum of 3,000 hours total flying time.
