I'm looking for civilian job options related to the military in Florida. Does anyone know about positions available on military bases for non-enlisted personnel, especially in areas like administration or logistics?
Absolutely, the military does hire civilians for a variety of roles. While you may not be in active duty, you can still contribute to the services in valuable ways.
Many non-enlisted personnel are employed by the Department of Defense (DoD) through the Civilian Expeditionary Workforce (CEW). These positions give civilians the chance to support military operations both domestically and overseas across various fields including administration, logistics, healthcare, and technology.
For example, in administrative roles, you might work in human resources, financial management, or office management. In logistics, possible tasks range from coordinating supply chain operations to managing transportation resources or handling warehousing tasks.
As far as location, Florida houses several military bases such as Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport, and MacDill Air Force Base where you might find these sorts of civilian military jobs.
Finally, the USA Jobs website is a good resource to explore these opportunities. You can filter by location and department to narrow down your search to positions in Florida and within the DoD or other related departments. Just make sure you pay attention to the requirements, as some positions may require security clearances or other specialized qualifications.
