EASA Flight Instructor Positions

As FTEJerez continues to grow through new airline partnerships and record cadet intakes, we are looking to recruit qualified Flight Instructors with all roles permanent and based at our aviation campus in Jerez, south west Spain. Training student pilots for a number of the world’s major airlines, the School works 50 weeks/year, 7 days/week and operates in some of the best flying weather in Europe.

As one of our flying instructors, you will fly 5 days/week and your working day will be restricted to 8 hours. Regardless of previous experience, the majority of our instructors join at the basic level but, for those suitably experienced, progression to IRI and CRI can be very quick. Flying hours come quickly in this environment and for those wishing to progress to airlines, FTEJerez will assist instructors in their career move where possible, once they have completed 2 years at FTEJerez.

The working environment at the School is excellent and living in Andalucia is a cultural and gastronomic experience which is well recommended!

What are we offering?

• An attractive remuneration package.
• A tailored career plan for instructors wishing to eventually join our Airline partners as a next step in their flying career.
• Real career progression opportunities within the company are available for pilots aiming to build a career specialising in the flight training arena.
• Fulltime positions and no “pay per hour”.
• Relocation assistance.
• High quality of life in one of Europe’s most privileged locations.
• The opportunity to join a leading ATO and train the airline captains of tomorrow!

What are the minimum requirements?

• EASA Commercial Pilots Licence (current).
• Valid Instrument and Flight Instructor ratings.
• Class 1 Medical.
• 500 hrs flight time as PIC in airplanes, including at least 200 hrs of flight instruction.
• Non-native English speaking instructors must hold a valid ICAO ELP qualification at level 5 or 6.

Please note that the above are minimum requirements. If you are an experienced FI with a proven track record in the industry, we also look forward to hearing from you!

Preferred qualifications:

• IRI rating.
• Close to 200 IFR hours.
