Ground Tech information

What is a ground tech?

Ground Techs, short for Ground Technicians, are professionals responsible for maintaining, repairing, and inspecting the grounds and infrastructure of facilities such as airports, sports fields, or commercial properties. Their duties may include landscaping, operating maintenance equipment, minor repairs, and ensuring safety and cleanliness standards are met. Ground Techs play a vital role in keeping outdoor spaces functional and aesthetically pleasing, often working as part of a larger facilities or maintenance team.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a ground tech?

To thrive as a Ground Tech, you need a solid understanding of landscaping, grounds maintenance, and safe equipment operation, typically supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with tools such as lawn mowers, trimmers, irrigation systems, and sometimes pesticide applicator certifications is often required. Attention to detail, strong work ethic, and effective teamwork are standout soft skills in this field. These abilities ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality maintenance of outdoor spaces, which is vital for safety and appearance.

What are some common challenges ground techs face when working outdoors, and how can they prepare for them?

Ground Techs often work in varying weather conditions, which can present challenges such as extreme heat, cold, or rain. To prepare, it's important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), stay hydrated, and be aware of safety protocols for different environments. Additionally, Ground Techs must remain vigilant about hazards like uneven terrain or moving equipment, so developing strong situational awareness and communication skills is essential. Regular training and teamwork also help ensure a safe and efficient work environment.

  • Coordinate with System Program Office Thread Leads and program managers to maintain alignment across acquisition and engineering activities.
  • Participate in Agile teams and provide technical direction on engineering tools, processes, and digital solutions.
  • Offer informed feedback on GED Agile, Digital Engineering, and DevSecOps policies to improve governance suitability and consistency of adoption.
  • Inform internal and external partners on upcoming ground deliveries, architectural changes, and impacts to existing capabilities.
  • Communicate technical acquisition plans, program status, and key decisions to senior government leaders and executives.
  • Apply expertise in a major intelligence discipline (e.g., SIGINT, GEOINT) to shape and evaluate program requirements for mission success.

Qualifications
Required Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (e.g., Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics) or equivalent; and nine (9) years or more experience; Masters and seven (7) years or more experience; PhD or JD and four (4) years or more experience. Relevant experience to be substituted in lieu of degree.
