About The Position

The contractor shall provide scheduling support to operational units for approximately 54,000 scheduled events. This role involves scheduling 100-300 people in close coordination with deployed operations personnel, managing resources such as academic, simulator, static aircraft, flight line, and range support. Proficiency in aircraft scheduling tools like Patriot Excalibur (PEX), Britannica Fox, Graduate Training Integration Management System (GTIMS), and Puck board is required. The contractor will develop efficient solutions to meet evolving scheduling requirements and systems. The position requires delivering a Simulator Utilization Report, conducting simulator, ground, and flight line scheduling using onsite operating instructions, and maintaining schedules to meet operational and training unit needs. This includes scheduling training events for academic classrooms, flightline, flight training sorties/missions, simulators, ground, and non-training resource requirements. The role also involves coordinating and scheduling events for Distinguished Visitors and other site functional areas requiring system time. Assistance will be provided in forecasting, developing, and coordinating local training requirements with wing-level organizations to ensure aircrews meet simulator currency requirements for combat operations, as per AFI or AFMAN 11-2MDS, AFSOCI 11-2 series, Volume 1, or the Combined Ready Aircrew Program (RAP) Taking Memo. The contractor will schedule contract/active duty/reserve personnel, ensuring 100% mission requirements are filled and addressing last-minute changes. Generating and disseminating daily and weekly schedules, making necessary changes, and potentially pushing schedules to EFBs are key duties. Maintaining a file of instructor qualifications to minimize the impact of absences on unit training and operations is also required. The schedule must be published on time according to squadron operating instructions (OI), with changes communicated promptly. Support for operations management, including current operations, scheduling, and training (including range/airspace scheduling), is expected. This includes coordinating helicopter and fixed-wing refueling, ECM ranges, aerial gunnery ranges, aircraft drop zone/landing zone/airport usage, hot-pit refueling, Functional Check Flight (FCF), SERE training, OPFOR support, medical support, Mission Sustainment Teams (MST), and other flying-related requirements. Daily schedules will be coordinated and tracked with room assignments to optimize building and equipment usage.
