Our People

The value NAVAIR provides to Naval Aviation is through our people. Your talent, experience and commitment are vital to mission accomplishment; and you deserve to work in a safe, clean environment with effective tools, training and support. As such, we will develop a comprehensive plan for near- and long- term investments in facilities and equipment maintenance, upgrades and recapitalization; and provide digital training and tools that enable our people to collaborate and solve problems quickly.

Our leaders will empower you to decide and act at the lowest possible level. They will promote critical thinking and creative problem-solving to achieve Program and Fleet outcomes. In turn, you must develop a bias for action and elevate issues quickly to ensure projects remain on schedule. You must also continuously grow your skillsets through broadening experiences and focused training.
