HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — Are you experienced in a skilled trade? Do you want to start a career at Hill AFB? Now is the time to apply.

Hundreds of new employees with skilled trade experience will be hired at Hill AFB in the next 6-12 months.

• Hill AFB has been assigned 40+ years of sustainment work on America’s newest fighter jets: the F-22 Raptor, and the F 35 Lighting II.

• At the same time, Hill’s maintenance, repair and overhaul work on the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor, B-2 Bomber, C-130 Hercules, T-38 Talon, A-10 Thunderbolt, land-based Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and Air Launched Cruise Missile is either stable or growing.

• There will likely be hundreds of skilled trade job openings each year for the next 5-8 years.

Direct Hire Authority (DHA) allows experienced candidates to submit resumes directly instead of using USAjobs.gov.

• Congress granted temporary DHA for certain skilled trade occupations at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex to shorten the hiring process so that large numbers of civilian employees can be hired more quickly.

• Job seekers who already possess some experience or hands-on technical training related to at least one occupation listed below may send a resume directly to hill.afb.outreach.us.af.mil.

• Only those with no specialized experience, and students seeking federal Pathways Internships, need to apply through USAjobs.gov.

Referral lists of qualified candidates are being established for 31 skilled trade occupations.

• DHA Candidate Referral Lists are being established for each approved skilled trade occupation so that supervisors may quickly interview and select qualified candidates that most closely match the duties and responsibilities of their particular job openings.

• You are applying to be placed on the referral list of qualified DHA candidates for one or more of the 30 occupations listed below.

• If you are rated “tentatively qualified” and are placed on a referral list for a DHA occupation, it does not necessarily mean that there is a vacancy right now or that there will be one in the next 90 days.
