Air Traffic Control
8 open positions in this category
The 2152 series, Air Traffic Control, covers the controllers who separate and sequence aircraft in towers, approach control facilities and en route centers, and the supervisors and support managers who run those facilities. Nearly all of this hiring is at the Federal Aviation Administration, with an occasional position at an Army National Guard airfield.
Recent listings have included supervisory air traffic control specialists in terminal facilities, support managers, including one at the MSS-3 level, an assistant general manager at the MSS-4 level, an air traffic control specialist and an air traffic control specialist serving as a barrier analysis review specialist.
Applying tip: FAA supervisory and support manager positions are aimed at experienced controllers and are often limited to current FAA employees, so read the “This job is open to” section first. The FAA runs its own personnel and pay system rather than the General Schedule, and its announcements list the pay band and facility level instead of a GS grade. Our USAJOBS search guide shows how to filter FAA postings.
