This is a hybrid position.
Job Responsibilities:
- Operations includes the following Air Force Civil Engineer program areas: electrical and power production; heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration; carpentry, masonry, steel-working, welding and signage; pavements, heavy equipment and grounds maintenance; entomology and pest management; water, fuels and sewage maintenance and management; work order planning, programming and prioritization; asset management; supply and material control; and service contract acquisition and management.
- The Contractor supports execution of the Civil Engineer Operations initiatives, to include the AF/A4C Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP), by advancing enterprise initiatives through governance, policy development, stakeholder integration, and program management activities. Coordinates actions across Headquarters Air Force, AFCEC, AFIMSC, MAJCOMs, and installation stakeholders; develops executive decision-support products; monitors implementation progress against strategic objectives; and supports initiatives focused on Operations governance, capability integration, engineering standards, infrastructure resilience, workforce development, and resource advocacy. Provides analysis and recommendations that improve enterprise readiness, mission assurance, and operational effectiveness across the Department of the Air Force.
- The ideal candidate must not just understand "how the shops run" but must be able to link tactical shop activities (preventive maintenance, material control, craft execution) to USAF strategic initiatives and the A4C Strategic Plan. This role bridges the gap between tactical base-level execution and Headquarters-level policy development, ensuring the core program areas of the Operations Flight are standardizing business processes, meeting statutory asset management requirements, and maintaining combat-readiness.
Position Description:
- The Contractor shall support the planning, coordination, execution, and sustainment of Civil Engineer Operations strategic initiatives and enterprise programs by developing, integrating, and maintaining governance and programmatic documents (e.g., DAFIs, DAFMANs, Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), policies, procedures, and implementation guidance) under AF/A4C program management oversight. Support the development of action plans, taskers, inquiry responses, implementation products, and issue-resolution actions that advance strategic objectives and enable effective execution of enterprise Civil Engineer Operations programs.
- Provide detailed updates to leadership and stakeholders by coordinating, facilitating, and participating in meetings, forums, and working groups. Develop and present associated products including briefing slides, meeting minutes, after-action reports, executive summaries, and status reports.
- Coordinate and collaborate with Government personnel, AFCEC, AFIMSC, MAJCOMs, and other Department of Defense organizations in the implementation and execution of Operations strategy, policy, guidance, and programmatic initiatives. Perform program analysis, develop trend reports, support compliance reviews, monitor program execution, and provide recommendations that improve enterprise Civil Engineer Operations.
- Serve as the lead Action Officer (AO) or primary point of contact (POC) for assigned Department of the Air Force, Department of War, audits and inspections impacting Civil Engineer Operations programs. Coordinate audit responses, develop and track Corrective Action Plans and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), monitor recommendation implementation, and provide executive updates to leadership on audit status and corrective actions.
- Support the development, coordination, and maintenance of Civil Engineer Operations governance and programmatic documents resulting from audit findings, policy changes, and program improvements. Assist with updates to DAFIs, DAFMANs, policies, procedures, and MICT communicators/checklists to ensure compliance and effective implementation across the Department of the Air Force.
- Support the planning, implementation, execution, and continuous improvement of Civil Engineer Operations strategic initiatives under AF/A4C program management oversight, supporting implementation of selected Civil Engineer Operations Strategic Implementation Plan initiatives involving Operations governance, CE Board integration, Civil Engineer Capability Integration Panel (CECIP) modernization, vehicle advocacy processes, engineering standards governance, and related policy improvement efforts. Coordinate stakeholder actions, develop implementation products, monitor milestone execution, and assist leadership in tracking progress toward strategic objectives.
