This role is critical in ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of personnel and goods using corporate aircraft, primarily the King Air 350 and similar models. The Corporate Pilot will play a vital role in problem-solving by taking a broad view of operational issues, developing innovative solutions, and communicating regularly with assistant chief pilots to address any flight-related challenges promptly. The position demands a pilot with strong handling skills and extensive instrument flight rules (IFR) experience, as the flying environment includes various types of airports, some with short runways or unimproved dirt strips.

The Corporate Pilot's responsibilities go beyond operating the aircraft safely; they include ensuring compliance with numerous government, industry, and company safety and operational standards. Candidate duties will include thorough preflight planning, monitoring weather conditions, managing flight plans, and ensuring that all aircraft documentation is current and on board.

Another important element of the role involves supporting ground operations such as assisting with baggage handling and attending to passenger needs, embodying the company's commitment to exceptional service. This role requires travel up to 90% of the time, including domestic and international flights. Therefore, the chosen candidate must possess a valid passport and be prepared for flexible scheduling, including occasional work outside regular Monday-through-Friday daytime hours. Driscoll’s values collaboration and ethical professionalism, expecting pilots to represent the company positively among coworkers, suppliers, growers, customers, and the broader business community. The position comes with a competitive salary range estimated between $145,000 and $185,000 USD, depending on experience and qualifications, alongside an attractive benefits package offering comprehensive health coverage, retirement benefits, paid time off, and employee support programs.
