Training Requirements

  • Training in airport safety and operations (e.g., FAA Part 139 training).
  • Pavement evaluation and management system training (e.g., FAA PAVEAIR, MicroPAVER).
  • Construction safety training (OSHA 30-hour or equivalent).
  • Airfield driver training for operating within active airport environments.

Core Competencies

  • Strong knowledge of pavement design, construction, and maintenance practices.
  • Ability to interpret and enforce FAA/ICAO standards.
  • Excellent communication and coordination skills for working in high-security, operationally sensitive environments.
  • Analytical skills for pavement performance evaluation and lifecycle cost analysis.
  • Commitment to safety, quality, and operational efficiency.

Work Environment

  • Active airport environment with exposure to aircraft operations, construction sites, and strict safety / security protocols.
  • Requires flexibility to work nights, weekends, or irregular hours to accommodate airport operations.
