Pavement and Construction Equipment

“You'll operate heavy pavement construction equipment and maintain the airfield surfaces that aircraft operate from. Heavy equipment operators are in demand in commercial construction and the military foundation transfers. Airfield pavement experience is specific to military and airport construction contexts where the safety requirements are exacting.”

Airfield pavement maintenance means keeping the surfaces that aircraft launch and land from in condition that won't damage aircraft. FOD (foreign object debris) awareness becomes part of your worldview permanently. The heavy equipment skills transfer to commercial construction and the airfield safety background is specific and applicable to airport authority and FAA airfield maintenance positions. Prime BEEF deployments mean building and maintaining surfaces in expeditionary locations. The work is outdoor, physically demanding, and weather-dependent in ways that are especially relevant at airfield locations.
