Position Summary
Professional Solutions1, LLC (ProSol) is seeking an experienced Lead Counter-SIGMAN Instructor / Senior Subject Matter Expert (SME) to provide specialized classroom instruction to Marines assigned to 2d Reconnaissance Battalion at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
The Lead Instructor will support a three-day, 24-hour Counter Signature Management (SIGMAN) training course designed to prepare reconnaissance Marines to identify, assess, and mitigate physical, electromagnetic, thermal, visual, acoustic, and digital signature vulnerabilities during amphibious and ground Reconnaissance and Surveillance (R&S) operations.
The ideal candidate will possess significant operational experience within Special Operations Forces (SOF) or military reconnaissance organizations, recent experience instructing tactical military units, and demonstrated expertise in multi-spectral signature management, Electronic Warfare (EW), counter-UAS operations, electronic signature analysis, cyber/digital footprints, or related disciplines.
This is an academic, classroom-based training requirement. The course does not include field maneuvers, live-fly UAS operations, tactical vehicle operations, or role-player support.
