Jobs

Tinker Air Force Base is Oklahoma's largest single site employer, with over 25,000 personnel delivering airpower for America!

The Tinker AFB LinkedIn page regularly posts job announcements available under direct hire authority, or DHA.

What is direct hire authority (DHA)?
This DHA will allow us to have more flexibility in hiring for technical positions and allows hiring for both: (up to) 8 year term limited and permanent career positions. For non-technical positions we will continue to use other hiring authorities, such as Delegated Examining.

DHA positions do not have a Time in Grade¹ requirement. Anyone can qualify for the announced position if they are able to demonstrate one year of specialized experience, regardless of their current grade level.

We are using the DHA authority to do ‘bucket hiring,’ which will allow us to publicly advertise one generalized opportunity that multiple teams within TTS can use to fill specific needs.
OC-ALC Resume Call (Ongoing)
The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex has a need for entry-level and Journeyman mechanics experienced in hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic, generator, diesel and gas engine maintenance practices.

Experience with aircraft engines and/or ground equipment experience is preferred but not required.

Please send your resume named: Last name, First name (.pdf preferred) to the following email address: OCALC.Jobs@us.af.mil

Time lapse footage shows the arrival of a B-52H Stratofortress aircraft fuselage, tail number 61-0009, to its new home at the Boeing facility near Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, Jan. 25, 2022. The fuselage and left wing of "Damage Inc. II" will serve as an integration model to test how well new technologies and current and future modifications will integrate with B-52 aircraft. The B-52 is undergoing its biggest modernization effort in its history. In addition to new engines, the B-52 is also upgrading its 1960’s core radar to a new Active Electronically Scanned Array system similar to those found in modern fighter aircraft.
