Program Management

The Program Manager (PM) serves as the single point of accountability and leadership for overall execution of the Fort Rucker Aviation Maintenance Services (FRAM II) Contract Logistics Support (CLS) program following transition.

Transition Integration & Governance (Non-Executing Role)

• Collaborate with the FRAM II Transition Manager, providing program-level oversight, coordination, and governance to ensure transition activities align with contractual requirements, Army priorities, and long-term sustainment objectives. • Participate in transition planning reviews, risk assessments, and Government coordination forums while not serving as the executing authority for transition tasks. • Ensure transition outputs (personnel, processes, systems, and data) are fully integrated into steady-state program operations at transition completion.

UH-72 Lakota Sustainment & Divestment Support

• Ensure continued safe, airworthy, and mission-ready maintenance of the UH-72 Lakota fleet until each aircraft is formally released for Government-directed disposition. • Coordinate UH-72 sustainment activities with divestment timelines to avoid training disruptions or premature capability gaps. • Maintain configuration control, maintenance records, airworthiness documentation, and compliance throughout the sustainment-through-divestment period.

Program Leadership & Customer Engagement

• Serve as the primary interface with U.S. Army Contracting Command, AvCOE leadership, and Fort Rucker stakeholders for steady-state contract execution. • Provide transparent reporting on performance, risk, and mitigation strategies, including Lakota sustainment and divestment impacts. • Lead Program Management Reviews (PMRs), readiness assessments, and executive-level briefings.

Compliance, Safety & Quality

Financial & Subcontractor Management

• Maintain cost, schedule, and performance discipline across all CLINs. • Manage subcontractors and vendors supporting maintenance, logistics, and supply chain operations. • Identify efficiencies that reduce lifecycle cost while sustaining readiness and safety.

Required Qualifications
