Blackcomb Helicopters - Lillooet

Blackcomb Helicopters is the premier helicopter tour & service company in
Western Canada with 35 years of expertise in the utility, emergency, & film
industries.

With our customers – one size does not fit all. With this differentiated approach comes additional complexity and our operational environments require deep technical knowledge. For much of what we do, our pilots need specialized skills and significant experience. Our maintenance operation and safety systems are designed to support a high level of technical expertise and complex operational capabilities. Over 50% of our work requires a formal pre-qualification process of some kind such as a custom safety audit. We are heavily invested in specialized work methods (hydro, SAR) and innovative equipment and technology (bike racks, communications systems).
As part of the McLean Group, we are able to take advantage of group management talent (finance, HR, legal, communications) and common customers such as film productions (Vancouver Film Studios) and remote communications companies (Signal Systems). Like other McLean Group companies, we also put a high priority on giving back through community engagement and charitable activities. We actively support our people getting involved in community service and our charitable committee (Blackcomb Helicopters Employee Endowment) is very active. Over the past five years, we have donated over $1M to charities in our base communities. Based on what we learned in making Vancouver Film Studios the first major Canadian studio to go carbon neutral, we have applied this knowledge to Blackcomb Helicopters beginning with our tourism operations. We are more than the sum of our parts and we care deeply about the communities in which we operate.
The quality of our people is central to our success and we put a lot of energy and focus into recruiting and training. We aspire to be an employer where helicopter professionals may not always be able to start their careers with us, but they certainly strive to end up with us. This desire to be a part of something special translates into a positive company culture which delivers proficient helicopter services and great experiences for our customers.
