The Airspace District Project Coordinator will be a trusted third-party agent (i.e., highly qualified contractor) who provides expertise in cross-programmatic planning and coordination of implementation activities as well as operational activities throughout the District. This position will work closely with and enhance the current project support entities within Planning and Requirements Groups (PRG), Engineering Services (ES), Technical Services (TS), System Support Centers (SSCs) and the Districts. The position is expected to serve the entire District and its Air Traffic Services Community. The Coordinator will be a NAS Program and Operations Subject Matter Expert (SME) and will serve as the joint liaison between the District Office/SSC (ATS and AJW), Engineering Services, PRG, Headquarters program offices, local Airport District Office personnel, and local commercial airport entities. The Coordinator will be an active advocate for the coordination, integration and planning of all projects and programs within the district. The position will use the FAA project management system and tools (e.g., Corporate Work Plan [CWP]) to identify, coordinate and track implementation activities at the district level. The position requires strong analytical and critical thinking capabilities with demonstrated ability to compile, assess and analyze large volumes of data from multiple sources (including operational data, project data, and administrative data sources, etc.) to identify key coordination and integration requirements.
