PIC - Beechjet / Citation Excel
About the role
Location: Topeka, KS (KFOE). Full-time, not commutable, Part 91 operation reporting to the Chief Pilot and Director of Operations as needed. Work location: in person. This is not a checklist role; it’s a left‑seat career. Vaerus Aviation seeks a Pilot in Command who values judgment, preparation, and professionalism and wants an operation that respects those qualities. If you’re an experienced PIC who believes the quality of the operation determines the quality of your life, this may be the role you’ve been looking for.
What this role actually feels like: you’ll fly well‑maintained business aircraft with realistic planning, clear communication, and a team that understands aviation from the cockpit outward. You won’t be rushed into poor decisions, second‑guessed after good ones, or treated like a seat‑filler. You’ll be trusted to command the aircraft and the mission.
Aircraft & mission profile: our operation includes a mix of jet and turboprop flying, supporting a variety of business and personal travel missions.
The Vaerus operating environment we’ve built intentionally: a maintenance culture focused on reliability and transparency; leadership that respects PIC authority; planning that reduces chaos, not creates it; a culture that supports longevity, not burnout. Our pilots stay because the operation makes sense.
Confidential by design: we understand experienced PICs don’t job hunt loudly. If you’re curious but discreet, every inquiry is handled privately and professionally — no recruiters, no automated systems, just a direct pilot‑to‑pilot conversation.
