Faa Contractor information

What is an FAA Contractor job?

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 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.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Faa Contractor position, and why are they important?

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.

We are looking for Full-time, ATC Radar Simulator Operator (RSO) candidates to join the SAIC Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team at the FAA Academy, located in Oklahoma City, OK, supporting Air Traffic Controller training services for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The scope of the contractor-provided services includes all training and training program support to successfully train and prepare students to become fully certified air traffic controllers. SAIC must provide training and training related support services as required for all types and levels of ATC facilities.
