Job description

Overview

Finnair Helicopters, operating an EC135p2+, is based in Vernon BC and has been providing specialized helicopter services to BC Hydro and other utility suppliers within the wire environment for 20 years. BC Hydro is the transmission electrical utility for the Province of British Columbia Canada.

We’re expanding and will be hiring 1 or 2 full-time permanent pilots to join our Okanagan-based team. If you’re an experienced powerline utility pilot with a passion for flying in the wire environment and providing precision longline services, and if you are experienced operating in mountainous terrain, we would like to receive your application.

If you are looking to be part of a highly professional team based in the Okanagan flying modern twin engine aircraft in the wire environment Monday-Friday, we could be the right fit for you and your family.

Compensation Package

  • Highly competitive salary
  • Moving cost support (if applicable)
  • Family-friendly hours and culture (Monday–Friday schedule)
  • Professional development support (e.g., business management, leadership training)

The Ideal Candidate

  • You hold over 4000 hours PIC helicopter experience
  • You hold an Advanced Mountain Flying Course certificate
  • Your career has specialized in flying in the wire environment
  • Your career has specialized in precision longline operations
  • You are willing and able to relocate to the Okanagan BC
  • You have twin engine experience
  • You have EC135 experience
  • Application Instructions

    Please complete this Application Form . All submissions will remain in the strictest confidence.

    Hiring Selection Process

  • Shortlisted applicants will be contacted to arrange a competency-based skill testing session in the wire environment. This will be the primary selection tool.
  • Wire environment and mountainous terrain experience are essential for this position.
  • Twin-engine experience and EC135 type experience are highly valued but are not essential for the right candidate.
  • Not Have the Right Experience Yet

    If you do not have powerline experience yet, but you have a strong desire to move your career into this highly dynamic and challenging area of the helicopter industry, you are invited to send your resume and a personal email (not a generic cover letter written by ChatGPT) to admin@finnairbc.com so that you can be considered for future hiring once you have built up your wire environment experience.

    Write in the email subject line : “Please consider me for future hiring”.
