About the role

You will fly as PIC and work closely with Air Tactical Supervisors, remaining within 45 minutes of the assigned base and responding rapidly to dispatches while following Cal Fire and Amentum policies. Requirements include extensive PIC hours, instrument time, and night flying. The role offers competitive hourly compensation and comprehensive benefits as outlined in the posting.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
