E1693:

Field Engineer Sr

You will be the Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) Battery Lead for the THAAD Missile Defense Team, partnering with the Royal Saudi Air Defense Force (RSADF) to operate, maintain and emplace the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in Saudi Arabia while supporting U.S. Army material management standards.

As the CLS Battery Lead you will be the day‑to‑day focal point for 2‑5 logistics specialists, guiding all maintenance, sustainment and training activities for the THAAD battery. You’ll split time between a 2‑to‑4 year OCONUS deployment in KSA and a CONUS home base at Fort Bliss, TX, where you’ll complete pre‑deployment training and coordinate with program leadership.

• Act as the primary CLS point of contact for RSADF operational leaders, providing clear status and advice on THAAD maintenance.
• Supervise and direct the daily work of 2‑5 CLS personnel to ensure compliance with U.S. Army Material Maintenance Management concepts and procedures.
• Deliver field and sustainment‑level maintenance support for THAAD equipment, including troubleshooting beyond the Enhanced Operator/Maintainer (EOM) level.
• Manage the RSADF maintenance and sustainment program: schedule services, oversee system upgrades and coordinate modifications.
• Prepare and deliver transition training so RSADF maintainers assume full responsibility for the battery.
• Conduct daily maintenance briefings with the RSADF Commander (or designated rep) and report status and administrative requirements to senior leadership.
• Request Engineering Reach Back support for complex issues and ensure rapid resolution.
• Maintain open, candid communication channels with RSADF, U.S. Government representatives and Lockheed Martin leadership to build trust and confidence.
• Live on site in housing near the KSA THAAD battery and participate in all required pre‑deployment and sustainment activities.

You are a collaborative, proactive logistics professional who thrives in multinational environments and can lead small, high‑performing teams under demanding conditions. This role offers a unique blend of technical challenge, cultural immersion and strategic impact—directly supporting a cornerstone of allied missile defense capability. You’ll gain extensive hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge THAAD systems, develop deep relationships with Saudi and U.S. defense partners, and enjoy the career‑building benefits of a long‑term overseas assignment while still anchored to a supportive home base at Fort Bliss.
