Are you a B2B sales professional who thrives on long-cycle, consultative sales? Ready to learn a specialized industry from an experienced VP while building relationships with major theme park operators and zoos across the country?

The Opportunity

Join a 60+ year U.S. manufacturer of amusement rides and people movers—backed by long-term private equity ownership focused on sustainable growth. This isn't a transactional sales role. You'll develop deep technical expertise in trains, trams, and carousels while managing a growing portfolio of zoo and aquarium accounts.

What You'll Do

• Generate new business (60%) while nurturing existing client relationships (40%)
• Conduct on-site visits to assess needs, measure specifications, and develop tailored proposals
• Manage full sales cycles from prospecting through contract negotiation
• Maintain accurate records and activity tracking in the company CRM system
• Build technical knowledge alongside engineering and manufacturing teams
• Travel ~50% annually to client sites and industry trade shows

What You'd Bring:

• Bachelor's degree
• 2+ years B2B sales experience
• Capital equipment or long sales cycle background (6+ months)
• Technical or mechanical background that supports learning complex products
• Self-discipline to work independently
• Willingness to relocate to Wichita, KS (minimum 2-year commitment on-site, then open to remote/hybrid)

What Sets You Apart:

• Genuine curiosity about how things work
• Consultative approach—you listen before prescribing
• Comfortable building relationships over months/years, not days
• Humble enough to bring in technical experts when needed
• Professional presence appropriate for client-facing interactions at all organizational levels

Why Wichita?

Lower cost of living (35% cheaper housing), strong aerospace/manufacturing hub, 19-minute average commute, and quality of life that lets you actually afford to own land and build roots.

Location: Topeka, KS (KFOE)

Job Type: Full-time, Not Commutable

Operation: Part 91 

Reports to: Chief Pilot and Director of Operations (as needed)

This is not a checklist role. It’s a left-seat career.

At Vaerus Aviation, we’re looking for a Pilot in Command who values judgment, preparation, and professionalism, and wants an operation that respects all three.

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.

You won’t be second-guessed after good ones.

You won’t be 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.

What We Value in a PIC

This role is a strong fit for pilots who:

Prepare thoroughly and think ahead

Communicate clearly and calmly

Respect SOPs while exercising sound judgment

Value professionalism over heroics

Care about building a sustainable flying career

If you’re chasing flight hours or a fast upgrade, this likely isn’t the right seat.

If you’re building a career, it might be.

The Vaerus Operating Environment

We’ve built Vaerus Aviation intentionally:

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.

Hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate with Single-Engine and Instrument Ratings

Minimum 1,500 hours total flight time

Turbine Experience Required

Pilatus PC-12 Experience Preferred

Possess a Second Class FAA Medical Certificate or higher

Confidential by Design

We understand that experienced PICs don’t job hunt loudly.  If you’re curious but discreet, every inquiry is handled privately and professionally.

→ Start a confidential pilot-to-pilot conversation

No recruiters.

No automated systems.

Just a direct discussion with people who understand the left seat.
