Installation Logistics Specialist

Parsons Corporation

About The Position

Parsons is working as the deployment and installation arm of Rohde & Schwarz (R&S), the manufacturer of an IP Voice Communication System (VCS). R&S has been tasked with replacing 140 VCS at Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs) around the country with a potential to replace 440+ sites. Parsons under R&S is tasked with installing the systems at the designated locations. FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) specialists use voice communications as their primary means of communications for the purpose of controlling airspace for the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS). The mission of the FAA’s Voice Switch & Recorder (VS&R) Program Office’s VoICE program is to provide a flexible, network-based voice communication enterprise system to replace aging, increasingly expensive to maintain legacy voice switches. VoICE will provide voice communications services to Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCS), supervisors, and ancillary Air Traffic Control (ATC) operators in support of 24x7 ATC operations in the Terminal and En Route domains of the National Airspace System (NAS). The VCS Legacy Infrastructure Futures Technology (LIFT) program is intended to upgrade ATCT communications with all respects while eliminating Loss of Communication Traffic between ATC’s, ATCT’s and Flight/Ground personnel. The Installation Logistics Specialist is responsible for coordinating the delivery of materials and equipment, coordinating with assigned installation crews, and helping to ensure that project milestones and customer expectations are met. This role is specifically focused on the installation of Voice Communication Switches for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
