Team Carney

Jacksonville, FL • Remote

$64K - $72K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 10 days ago

Job description

 This P-3 Flight Engineer Instructor position supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the area of Support Services. The mission-critical program provides comprehensive training, safety, standards, curriculum development, and technical modernization services to ensure national border security agents can operate safely and effectively. 

The P-3 Orion is a complex, long-range patrol aircraft critical to border tracking. As a Flight Engineer Instructor, you ensure that the crews operating these aircraft have absolute mastery over fuel, propulsion, and emergency systems, ensuring they return home safely from every mission. 

  • Location: Remote or Jacksonville, FL

  • Status: Full-Time / Contingent Upon Contract Award 

Who You Are 

You are an aviation operations professional with a deep, systemic understanding of the Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion. You are meticulous about safety protocols, detail-oriented, and take great pride in training the next generation of flight crews. You are as comfortable explaining complex electrical or hydraulic schematics in a classroom as you are demonstrating emergency checklists inside a high-fidelity simulator. 

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities) 

  • Academic & Practical Instruction: Teach aircraft systems (Fuel, Hydraulics, Propulsion, Electrical, CRM) in classroom and flight simulator environments. 

  • Evaluate Crew Competency: Objectively assess student proficiency in flight operations, weight and balance calculations, and emergency checklists. 

  • Create Flight Scenarios: Program and direct realistic flight training scenarios in the P-3 Operational Flight Simulator (OFT). 

  • Course Maintenance: Assist in developing and updating study guides, grading criteria, flight scenario logs, and academic exams. 

  • Record Uploads: Create and maintain system quizzes and exams, grading and uploading completed quizzes and exams to the secure tracking and reporting portal. 

What You Bring (Qualifications) 

  • Experience: 3-5 years of recent experience as a P-3 Flight Engineer Instructor (must have taught within the last 2 years). 

  • Certification: FAA Flight Engineer Certificate or military equivalent qualification preferred. 

  • Technical Knowledge: Deep, comprehensive knowledge of the P-3 Orion’s engines, avionics, systems, and emergency operations. 

  • Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain a federal background suitability check. 

Why You'll Love Working with Team Carney (Benefits & Perks) 

When you join our team, you enjoy a robust suite of benefits tailored to support your "whole self": 

  • Comprehensive Health: Competitive medical, dental, and vision options (BCBS CareFirst), plus HSA and FSA. 

  • Financial Protection: 401(k) with corporate match, and fully paid life and disability insurance. 

  • Work-Life Harmony: Generous PTO, 11 paid federal holidays, and 6 weeks of fully paid parental leave. 

  • Professional & Personal Growth: Up to $5,000 annually in tuition assistance or student loan repayment, plus $200/year "Get Out and Learn" and $200/year "Get Out and Run" micro-benefits.
