We’re pleased to welcome Josh Grice to the New Zealand Flying Doctor Service (NZFDS) team. Josh joins as one of our newest pilots, bringing enthusiasm, capability, and a strong sense of purpose to this critical role.

What attracted you to the NZ Flying Doctor Service?
“I have some good friends working within GCH Aviation who’ve always spoken very highly of the organisation and the people involved,” says Josh. “I was looking for the next challenge in my aviation career, and I can’t think of a better one than working under time-critical circumstances where the work we do can make a real difference in people’s lives.”

What are you most looking forward to in this role?
“Working as part of a close-knit team in a highly dynamic and professional environment,” he says. “And of course, flying the King Air.”

Getting to know Josh
Outside of work, Josh maintains a high level of physical fitness, a necessity given the demands of his role. “Staying fit is important to me and to the job, so I make exercise a regular part of my routine,” he says.

He’s also passionate about motorsports and enjoys spending time on or around the water when he’s off duty. “Waterskiing, wakeboarding, if it’s on the water, I’m in,” he says.

With a background in mathematics from school and a love for problem-solving, Josh brings both technical skill and calm under pressure to the air.

We’re delighted to have Josh as part of the team, and we look forward to seeing the impact he’ll make with the NZ Flying Doctor Service.
