Virgin Balloon Flights Essex
Essential - Category B (car) license updated to show B+E (trailer) entitlement.
This is a unique opportunity to take part in an amazing activity which is fun and exciting. It will suit a positive person that is hands-on, adaptable and totally reliable. All training required will be provided.
We are looking for someone to join our small but friendly team. Flights are scheduled morning and evening from March to October with passenger meeting times shortly after sunrise (6am) and 3 hours before sunset (7pm). The whole flight including preparation and driving to / from the launch site usually takes between 4-6 hours, so there are early starts (5am or earlier) and late finishes (11pm or later). You will need to be completely reliable and comfortable with being on stand-by for suitable weather conditions. Crew need to be capable of physically demanding hands-on work with good people skills and a driving licence. The key tasks are to drive to the launch site, help the pilot prepare the balloon, follow the balloon with a 4x4 vehicle pulling a 6 metre trailer, liaise with the land owner where the balloon has landed then help pack the balloon before driving back to refuel at its base near Braintree. Trailer driving skills, navigation, negotiation and refuelling skills can all be provided.
Pay is £20 per hour. The weather is hard to predict so there could be anywhere between 0-30 flights per month! Generally it will be about a dozen flights per month on average. This allows for it to be blended in with other flexible work and activity. This job is not for everyone but will be amazing for the right person.
Please get in touch if you are interested. A CV would be useful and a brief explanation of why this job would suit you.
