We're hiring! Come work with the people who make it happen: meet Nicole.

Nicole's pretty cool. She's been flying helicopters for 28 years and just celebrated her 23rd anniversary with Hillsboro Aviation. 🚁

By summer, she flies our Airbus H145D3 on aerial firefighting missions around the United States. By winter, she flies either our H145D3 or H125 on power line missions. In 2021, Nicole received the Department of Interior's Citizen's Award for Bravery for a rescue in the Tetons.

That same drive shows up in how she spends her time off. A former member of the Swiss Ski team, Nicole has biked thousands of miles on multi-year journeys through South and Central America. She's traced Iceland’s Ring Road by bicycle and ridden sections of the Silk Road from the Middle East to China. On foot, she’s crossed the Zanskar Trail in India’s Ladakh region, hiked the John Muir Trail, the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt, and Patagonia’s W and O circuits — plus countless miles around El Chaltén and Iceland’s Southern Highlands. 🌍

Like Nicole, our people drive everything we do. Lead with passion, grit, and teamwork? We want you on our team.
