Surdex does not currently have employment contracts, however we are not interested in turning pilots over every 6 months. We are looking for pilots who are willing to spend at least three years working for us. If you are in a rush to get to the airlines, Surdex is not for you, so please do not apply. If you want the best training, best maintained aircraft, and the best three years of experience in aviation call our HR department. Over the next three years you will fly 1500 hours, visit every state in the CONUS, and be comfortable flying single engine, twin piston engine, twin turbine, high altitude, over water, mountains, nights, and conjested airspace. About half of our pilots decide to stay and make a career of Aerial Survey. If you decide to pursue more advanced jet aircraft, I guarantee you will be successful given this experience.
If you are an experienced pilot in Aerial Survey you should give us a call. We have recently hired a number of senior pilots with experience from other companies in our industry.
Surdex is one of the premier aerial acquisition company in North America. We are one of the largest federal contractors in the industry and fly for the USDA, USACE, USGS, and others. Our imagery is also seen on Apple Maps, Google Maps, as well as hundreds of municipal websites. Other large aerial aquisition companies (represented on this forum) also contract flying to us. We hire experienced and inexperienced commercial pilots. We also hire private pilots as camera operators.
