Program Overview

About The Role

Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA’s Business, National Airspace, and Technical Computing Services (BNATCS) contract. As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation’s skies safe and connected. 

We’re looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world’s most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration.

At Peraton, you won’t just support the mission — you’ll define it.

Join a team dedicated to protecting the safety and integrity of U.S. air travel. Peraton is seeking a detail-oriented Logistics Support, Sr. Associate to support the coordination, tracking, and timely delivery of materials, components, and equipment for key Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs. In this role, you will oversee the movement of critical assets, ensuring compliance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) guidelines and internal logistics procedures. The ideal candidate brings logistics, supply chain, or expediting experience, with strong communication and analytical skills to manage schedules, resolve shipping issues, and maintain accuracy across multiple delivery channels.

In this position, you will:

  • Manage daily logistics coordination and expediting activities to ensure timely delivery of program materials and equipment.

  • Track, monitor, and report on purchase orders, shipments, and delivery schedules across multiple suppliers.

  • Serve as the liaison between procurement teams, suppliers, and carriers, ensuring issues are resolved promptly.

  • Oversee shipping and receiving operations, verifying accuracy of materials, quantities, and documentation.

  • Maintain inventory and asset tracking records in logistics management systems.

  • Develop and distribute expediting reports, delivery forecasts, and risk assessments.

  • Identify potential delays, shortages, or transportation risks and recommend mitigation plans.

  • Ensure compliance with FAA AMS, FAR, and internal logistics policies.

  • Support continuous improvement initiatives for logistics workflows and supplier performance tracking.

  • Coordinate with program management and technical teams to align delivery schedules with project milestones.

Why This Role Matters

Every FAA modernization project depends on efficient and reliable material flow. As a Logistics & Expediting Specialist, you ensure that essential parts, systems, and supplies are delivered accurately and on time—enabling continuous operations within the National Airspace System (NAS). Your ability to anticipate and resolve delays, maintain supplier accountability, and uphold compliance standards directly supports the FAA’s mission of ensuring safe, secure, and modern air travel infrastructure.
