By contributing your exceptional skill and know-how in the patriotic defense of the nation, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the air superiority of the Air Force remains unrivaled anywhere.
You’ll guide student pilots from the classroom to the flight line, working shoulder to shoulder with active-duty Airmen, training new pilots, and retraining experienced flyers in the latest systems and newest tactics and technology.
If you’re a pilot or former pilot and meet the following criteria, landing one of these coveted positions could be a cinch.
The U.S. Air Force flies the most sophisticated aircraft on the planet. Our pilots are second to none. Their skills and abilities are unmatched anywhere. They are the best because they’ve learned from the best there is.
The rewards of working as a civilian for the world’s most powerful air force go far beyond the goosebumps that come with knowing you’re benefiting the lives of America’s Airmen and contributing to national security. The benefits themselves are impressive, with generous health and retirement packages that would be hard to come by in the private sector:
Paid time off — 11 federal holidays, 13 days annual sick leave, & 13 to 26 days earned annual leave
Insurance for you & your family — Health, dental, vision, & life
Federal employment retirement system system in addition to Social Security
Work-life balance so you can excel both in and out of the office

There’s not a force on the planet that can compete with the Department of the Air Force in air, space, or cyberspace. One reason for its superiority is the dedication and professionalism of people like you who comprise the 170,000-strong Air Force Civilian Service. Whether it’s caring for the health and well-being of Airmen, Guardians, and their families, maintaining the equipment and infrastructure that allows the U.S. military to be ready at a moment’s notice, or helping pilots sharpen their edge; behind every Airman, every Guardian, every milestone — there’s someone like you.
