The city of Santa Monica has posted a job announcement for an FBO manager to take over fuel sales and other associated functions at the airport.
The city is working to evict the two private FBOs located on the airport as part of its overall plan to close the airport as soon as it may legally do so. The city government hopes that can be in about two years.
The city is seeking a candidate with the following qualifications:
Knowledge of:
Principles and practices of fiscally responsible planning, management and control.
Local, state and federal laws, regulations and policies applicable to the structure, functions, programs and practices affecting FBO operations, services and activities.

Effective supervisory techniques and practices.

The posting states that the FBO manager "is a three-year term-limited position" with a salary range of $108,996.00 - $134,568.00 annually.
Still, if you apply for and get the job, you might think twice before moving your family and taking out a 30-year mortgage on a home.
