About The Position

Luke AFB is home to the Air Force's largest F-35 pilot training wing, and the 56th Civil Engineer Squadron plans, programs, and sustains the facilities that keep that mission running. VLinc is hiring three engineers to embed full-time with the squadron's Portfolio Optimization element. This is the front end of the facility lifecycle: deciding what gets built and repaired, making the case for the money, and setting projects up so they execute well. Your work products go straight to squadron and wing leadership.
