We are looking for pilots for positions at our bases in Gällivare, Lycksele, Mora, and Karlstad.

The Role of Pilot

Pilots at SLA are responsible for the helicopter during both emergency missions (HEMS) and planned transports (Air Ambulance). We work with a strong sense of teamwork for the benefit of the patient. Therefore, it is important that you can build good and trusting relationships with your surroundings.

We are constantly developing, and you will become an important and appreciated piece of the puzzle in a crew. You need to be flexible in your work, as temporary assignments at other bases may occasionally occur.
