Considering the requirement for the BS degree makes the pay seem abysmal. Where do the HR people come up with this stuff?
I worked for Sacramento's airports for 25 years doing operations, fueling and ARFF. Our airport operations workers have a pay scale of 18.00 to 21.87 per hour with no requirement for a degree at all. This job sounds like our Operations Officers who have a pay scale of 34.97 to 38.56 per hour.
And according to one online cost of living calculator I looked at, it costs 9.6 percent MORE to live in Portsmouth.
I guess the difference is PSM is nowhere near as busy, but still.
Good luck filling those positions.
