FlyUno Staff Recruitment

FlyUno is recruiting!

As part of FlyUno's ongoing restructure, and imminent April 1st relaunch, we are pleased to announce that recruitment for a number of key staff positions has reopened.

Please note that this recruitment exercise replaces that which was started in February; unfortunately circumstances beyond our control require that we restart the process. FlyUno management would like to apologise to all original applicants for this lapse. If you applied for any of the positions advertised on February 2nd, or on February 18th, and received any response from FlyUno please forward copies of all communication, including your original application, to the address detailed at the end of this release.

It is essential that when applying for these positions you understand that although flight simulation is a hobby, should you become a staff member you will be expected to dedicate time to the running of FlyUno and providing a service that is second to none. As a staff member you will be expected to show commitment, dedication and enthusiasm. It's not all serious though, and you can be sure that there's fun to be had at the same time.

The vacancies that are open are as follows:-

Marketing Manager - 1 vacancy

Responsible for the internal and external promotion of FlyUno and its activities including the preparation of marketing plans; acting as a focal point through which all such communication from other staff members is channelled; liaison with external organisations such as VAs, retailers, software houses, etc.

Fleet Manager - 1 vacancy

Responsible for maintenance of the FlyUno fleet; the packaging and delivery into test and production of upgrades to existing fleet aircraft; research into and the provision of freeware and payware models of fleet aircraft or enhancements to them (such as panels, sounds, etc). Aircraft repainting skills, whilst not required would be a definite advantage.

Hub Manager(s) - 1-3 vacancies

Co-ordination and preparation when required of routes and flights from each of the hubs from which FlyUno operates (currently Amsterdam, Munich and Liverpool); promotion of the "Destination of the Month" from hubs; preparation of press releases reporting on and promoting hub activity; research into and provision of links to scenery.
