Lockheed Martin will add more than 300 new jobs for F-16 production and sustainment to its Greenville, South Carolina, site by the end of 2022.

The company is actively hiring today, and interested candidates can apply on LockheedMartinJobs.com.

Select roles are eligible for new hire incentives, including up to $2,000 sign-on bonuses and up to $5,000 relocation lump-sum payments.

Aircraft-specific experience is desired, but not required for some positions. Robust, on-the-job training is available as needed, and employees will have the opportunity to learn new automation and digital engineering technologies as Lockheed Martin continues to invest in the F-16 program.

The new positions include:

  • Airframe and power plant mechanics
  • Avionics technicians
  • Engineers
  • Painters
  • Planners
  • Sheet metal mechanics
  • Quality inspectors
  • Supervisors
  • Tool makers

To fill these positions, Lockheed Martin is working closely with the state and local government, as well as community partners, such as Greenville Technical College. The company is also participating in several virtual and local career events, including some events that are exclusive to transitioning military service members and veterans.
