Program Manager - Fort Rucker Aviation Maintenance Services (FRAM II)

This position is Contingent Upon Contract Award.

Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism. 

The Program Manager (PM) serves as the single point of accountability and leadership for overall execution of the Fort Rucker Aviation Maintenance Services (FRAM II) Contract Logistics Support (CLS) program following transition. The PM collaborates closely with the designated FRAM II Transition Manager to ensure a coordinated, low-risk assumption of operations, while maintaining clear separation of responsibilities whereby the Transition Manager retains direct responsibility for transition execution.

V2X, under the PM’s leadership, maintains full aviation maintenance and sustainment support for the UH-72 Lakota fleet prior to and throughout the divestment and transition-out period, ensuring aircraft availability, safety, and training continuity until Government-directed disposition actions are complete. Upon completion of transition, the PM assumes full responsibility for steady-state CLS performance across all supported platforms, while ensuring uninterrupted aviation training support to the Army Aviation Center of Excellence (AvCOE).
