About Us

NERD.aero specialises in web design, software development, and cybersecurity compliance for the aviation industry. Our clients include aviation businesses of all sizes, and we take pride in delivering innovative and secure digital solutions tailored to their needs.

The Role

2. Previous roles in charter, flight dispatch, or FBO operations (a plus).
3. Strong project management skills with the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously.
