About SkyBound
SkyBound is a fast-moving, design-led tech company redefining automated drone operations. Our mission is to save, protect, and improve lives through intelligent, real-time aerial solutions.
From our Southampton HQ, we combine cutting-edge AI, advanced visualisation, and next-generation drone technology to deliver rapid-response, high-impact tools across Rail, Highways, Ports, and more.
We're scaling quickly and are now looking for x4 Coordinators to join our growing Operations team.
Location: Southampton HQ (SO19)
Travel: Regular travel across the UK to support operations, testing and customer deployments.
Working pattern: These roles operate on a shift pattern to support our growing remote flight operations.
The Role
As a Coordinator, you'll be at the heart of our drone operations.
Working from our Remote Operations Centre, you'll remotely operate autonomous aircraft, support live customer missions, test new technology, and help shape the future of autonomous flight.
No two days are the same. One day you could be supporting operations on critical national infrastructure, the next testing new technology or working alongside our Engineering team to develop new capabilities.

What You'll Do
- Operate remote drone missions from our Southampton Operations Centre.

Who We're Looking For
We're looking for people with the right attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn. Previous drone experience isn't essential. We'll provide all the training and support you need to become a safe and confident operator.
You'll enjoy this role if you like learning new technology, solving problems, staying calm under pressure and working closely with others. We're looking for people who communicate well, take ownership of their work, are organised, adaptable and enjoy being part of a supportive team. Our team comes from a wide range of backgrounds, including the emergency services (frontline and control room), aircraft engineering, charity organisations and lifeguarding. Experience in aviation, engineering, security, operations, surveying, inspections or technical support can be useful, but it's by no means essential.
