Veterans

Veterans are a highly valued part of our workforce, and paramount to the mission we serve every day. NAVAIRs a large scale organization with countless opportunities for candidates with backgrounds across the spectrum of both technology and business. Operating with commitment to reintegrating veterans from all services into our organization, NAVAIR’s work requires the same qualities you earned in the service: leadership, management and technical skills. They fulfill our immediate mission demands and ensure long term organizational viability. NAVAIR Leadership is an organization that values diversity and inclusion by all workforce members and has targeted recruitment programs to provide career opportunities to qualified candidates.

We seek to hire engineers, scientists and business professionals as well as technicians and tradesmen to join our team of more than 24,000 civilians located across eight unique sites. All veterans who wish to be considered for a position at NAVAIR, search here and apply. If there are no open positions of interest, please leave us your contact information.

Hiring Authorities available for NAVAIR Candidates;

While being an employer of choice for candidates whose experience and education help to support the technical mission of NAVAIR (technicians, engineers and analysts) we also offer a wide range of entry level, developmental and internship positions for veterans who may be lacking a college education or management experience.

Active Duty Intern Program (ADIP)

NAVAIR’s Active Duty Intern Program serves as another valuable opportunity for veterans interested in pursuing NAVAIR careers. The ADIP Provides active duty service members with the rare chance to join NAVAIR on an intern basis while still on active duty. Interns are then afforded training, networking and exposure to the federal workforce environment while building their job experience. This program is conducted at all NAVAIR sites and interns have the possibility of securing full-time employment with NAVAIR after their active duty separation.

We honor and respect the courage and sacrifices you have made to protect our country. NAVAIR is committed to recognizing your skills, talents and value. We are excited about the contributions you could bring to the NAVAIR team. To learn more about the NAVAIR Wounded Warrior Program, please email NAVAIRWoundedWarrior@navy.mil
