What is an FAA contractor?

An FAA Contractor is a professional who works for a private company that has a contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These contractors provide specialized services such as air traffic control support, engineering, systems maintenance, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. Unlike direct FAA employees, contractors are hired through third-party organizations but still contribute to critical aviation safety and infrastructure projects. This role often requires specific qualifications depending on the field, such as security clearances, technical certifications, and aviation-related experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FAA contractor?

To thrive as an FAA Contractor, you generally need a background in aviation, engineering, project management, or IT, along with relevant education or certifications in your field. Experience with FAA regulations, safety standards, specialized software such as AutoCAD or project management systems, and knowledge of compliance protocols are frequently required. Strong communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills help contractors navigate complex projects and collaborate effectively with government teams and stakeholders. These abilities ensure contractors meet strict safety, regulatory, and quality standards critical to the FAA’s mission.

What does the typical work environment look like for an FAA contractor?

FAA Contractors often work within multidisciplinary teams either onsite at FAA facilities, remotely, or in a hybrid environment, depending on project requirements and their area of expertise. Daily responsibilities can include conducting safety assessments, managing engineering or IT projects, preparing technical documentation, or implementing regulatory compliance checks. Collaboration with FAA staff, other contractors, and external partners is common, and contractors must stay adaptable to changing project scopes and deadlines. While the work can be demanding due to its highly regulated nature, it offers valuable experience in federal aviation projects and can lead to further opportunities within government contracting or the broader aviation industry.

Job description

Company Overview
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
Overview
The successful candidate will support industrial hygiene and safety programs across Joby's onsite operations. Working cross-functionally, this role will support safe product development, proactively reduce operational risk, and help integrate sustainable practices into key strategic and operational decisions across the organization.
At Joby, you'll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the future of aviation while helping shape a culture of safety and sustainability. We value ambition, innovation, and clear communication-and we're looking for individuals eager to grow with us as we pioneer this new era of air mobility.
Responsibilities
  • Support all aspects of Joby's Industrial Hygiene program in compliance with regulatory requirements and internal procedures, with supervision from department lead (e.g., Chemical Exposure Risk Assessments, Hearing Conservation, Respiratory Protection, Ergonomics)
  • Develop and apply occupational exposure bands, ensuring hazards are recognized, evaluated, and controlled to minimize employee health and environmental risks
  • Conduct exposure monitoring using established strategies, methods, and instrumentation, and communicate findings to management
  • Provide advice on industrial hygiene and chemical hygiene matters
  • Partner with internal teams and external contractors to create a safe, healthy, and sustainable workplace
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of safety strategic plans, hazard assessments, and risk-reduction programs, including engineering and administrative controls and employee training
  • Maintain awareness of evolving technology, workplace innovations, and best practices in employee health and environmental stewardship
  • Track, analyze, and achieve key safety performance indicators aligned with industry best-in-class standards
  • Support the management of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and related industrial hygiene documentation

Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related scientific field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across diverse teams.
  • Demonstrated ambition and commitment to continuous learning and professional growth
  • Available to work onsite 5 days a week
  • Work weekends as required

Desired
  • Experience in a manufacturing environment
  • Associate Safety Professional (ASP) certification or working toward Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation
