Cobec values the well-being of employees and bestows tremendous trust in those people to negotiate work and non-work obligations. Cobec is where someone can bring their whole self to work and be themselves, never having to compromise their authenticity just to fit in. Lastly, we believe in the work we do, the goals and missions of our customers and the interpersonal relationships we have with clients, stakeholders and our people.\nValues and Expectations\nThe successful candidate for this role embodies the same values as Cobec.

This is a recommended hiring range, not a direct market median. Confirm contract labor category, funding, available bill rate, and internal equity before finalizing.\n[2]Verify the three-of-five-year U.S. residency wording, citizenship/immigration eligibility, and moderate-risk designation against the applicable FAA/DOT contract before publishing.
