Scheduler

Job Description

Join a critical operations team that ensures round-the-clock mission readiness by managing dynamic flight scheduling operations for remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) squadrons. As a Flight Scheduler supporting the Department of Defense, you will be the central point of coordination between personnel, systems, and training cycles, ensuring every sortie is supported by a fully qualified and ready crew.

Track and deconflict crewmember availability due to leave, TDY, appointments, or other obligations, coordinating changes with senior leadership.

Align flight schedules with daily ground, flight, and academic training requirements while mitigating risk by avoiding low-experience crew pairings.

Adhere to locally developed scheduling policies and ensure compliance with Ops Group guidance.

Contribute to flying hour program planning, reporting, and forecasting per AFI 11-102.

Attend monthly range scheduling meetings at Nellis AFB and ensure flight schedules align with airspace policies.
