How does the FAA hire Manufacturing Inspectors?
Manufacturing inspectors are hired primarily from a national register or pool of qualified applicants. To apply, candidates must complete the application process. Once a candidate’s application information is assessed, they will receive a Notice of Results (NOR), which will identify whether the applicant is eligible or ineligible for these positions. All qualified candidates, who complete the application process, are eligible for employment consideration for a period of one year. As vacancies occur, selecting officials will request a list of eligible candidates meeting specific criteria from this pool of qualified applicants.
