How to Apply

Interested candidates should be aware that this is not an entry-level position and not for the inexperienced. The workload can be considerable at times and should not be taken lightly.

Candidates can expect an initial evaluation of their application after which they may be contacted for a comprehensive interview.

Applicant must provide a letter of application, virtual resume, and a letter of recommendation from a current or previous ATM, DATM, or TA (LOR applies only to those who are applying from outside the ARTCC).

Additionally, it should include the applicant’s plans and vision for the facility as related to the events program and at least one (1) idea for a future Boston-related event. Please also include your name, CID, current ARTCC, current rating, and any prior experience.

Applications should be submitted to Camden Bruno, Air Traffic Manager ([email protected]) and Clif Whitten, Deputy Air Traffic Manager ([email protected]). Application deadline is 8 May 2017.
