About The Position

This is an Air Reserve Technician (ART) enlisted position. ARTs are regular career civil service employees who receive Federal employee benefits and must maintain active membership in the assigned Air Force Reserve unit. ARTs typically complete one weekend of military training per month. The role maintains complex integrated pneudraulic systems and equipment on conventional and nuclear-certified aircraft supported by the organization. It includes maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, testing, modification, calibration, documentation, and training of assigned personnel, including Active Duty, Reservists, civilians, contractors, and foreign military personnel as required.

The incumbent’s regular assignments are primarily ART duties, though non-ART duties may be assigned and generally will not exceed 30 percent of total responsibilities. The work schedule is aligned to permit participation in unit training assemblies. The position may involve shift work, emergency overtime, work outside normal duty hours, and temporary duty travel that may require flying on military or commercial aircraft. The employee must meet and maintain Air Force Reserve requirements, maintain the required security clearance and certifications, and is subject to pre-employment and random drug testing.
