About The Position

At MLT, we create solutions by empowering our people to fulfill their passion for service. In support of Program Manager Advanced Amphibious Assault, we are seeking a Vehicle Operator Instructor with experience in supporting the New Equipment Training (NET) efforts for the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) and Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV).

Requirements

• Be physically capable of conducting the actions required to mount, dismount, evacuate, and egress during vehicle operations.
• Personnel whose duties require embarkation upon an ACV performing water operations shall be qualified in the Submerged Vehicle Egress Trainer.
• Prior to training in the SVET, personnel must complete a Physical Employment Physical, complete SVET Medical Screening Form, and possess a current Marine Corps Water Survival (MCWS) – Water Survival Qualification – Intermediate (WS-I) (i.e., MCWS qualification must be less than 2 years prior to SVET training).
• Qualification in the SVET requires a 4-hour period of classroom academic instruction that introduces procedures on how to safely egress from a sinking or submerged vehicle.
• The classroom academic instruction is followed by a practical application using the Shallow Water Egress Trainer (SWET) and the SVET.
• The SWET is an individual seat-type device used prior to, and in conjunction with, SVET to introduce water submersion, basic disorientation by inversion, use of compressed air, and the proper techniques to egress.
• SWET training introduces students to a situation of being inverted while wearing safety belts or harnesses in the water so the student can use training received in the classroom to complete the SVET practical application.
• Once inverted in the water, the student must use problem-solving skills to maintain control and implement an egress plan as trained.
• The SVET simulates the submersion, rolling over, and sinking of an ACV to allow students to apply and demonstrate the tactics, techniques, and procedures learned in the classroom instruction and SWET to safely egress from the vehicle.
• While conducting SVET training, the student will be exposed to a stressful environment that includes a sudden descent into water on a simulated vehicle platform, underwater submersion, unexpected rotational forces while submerged, reduced air supply, high intensity exercise (swimming while egressing), sensory deprivation, disorientation, and breathing compressed gas.
• This training is not recommended for those individuals that have cardiac or pulmonary disease, limited range of motion of limbs, recurring joint pain, hydrophobia, claustrophobia, anxiety, panic attacks, or other medical disability that could be exacerbated by this training.
• Must have at a minimum, 6 years of experience.
• Familiarity with AAV and/or ACV operations is required.
• Must provide proof of completion of Marine Corps Instructor Development Course (IDC) or equivalent.
• Must be able to read, write, speak, and comprehend the English language, including technical language and terms associated with the operation, operator maintenance and field level maintenance of Ordnance Vehicles and associated communications and data systems.
• Must meet the prerequisite for training courses which require a swim qualification (WS-I), SVET and a physical fitness event.

Responsibilities

• Perform Vehicle Instructor duties by implementing and evaluating instruction on ACV systems, subsystems, equipment controls, and operator-level preventive and corrective maintenance functions.

• Conduct operator-level tasks including Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), inspections, and procedures in accordance with applicable technical manuals, references, and instructions.
