Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges by building, manufacturing and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally, wherever they are. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes, we are transforming the way things move for businesses, governments and consumers. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Through our technology that includes robotics and autonomy, we are decarbonizing delivery, decreasing road congestion, and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain
As a member of Zipline’s Flight Operations team in Nigeria, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that the delivery of medical products to health facilities is done in a safe and timely manner. This will involve working with a team of flight operators to conduct regular preflight inspections, launching, and recovery of the drones (aircraft).
You'll learn how to effectively and safely handle zip components, assembling and disassembling components right after recovery. You'll be expected to provide feedback and ideas to the flight operators on how to make our operations safer and ultimately help us scale to 400+ deliveries per day.
Safety is your priority: your goal is to never harm people or property and report potential safety risks ahead of time.
Once hired you will go through a rigorous training program with Zipline Academy to gain a deep understanding of our history, our mission, our impact, and our UAS systems. The program includes thorough Flight Operations training that covers different parts of our system and our drone.
