Transportation Security Inspector - Aviation Opportunities in Urbana

Transportation Security Inspectors help ensure that airports, air carriers, cargo facilities, and other regulated aviation organizations follow federal transportation-security requirements. Rather than screening passengers at a checkpoint, inspectors evaluate the systems, procedures, records, and security programs designed to protect the broader aviation network. This role combines field inspections, regulatory research, security assessments, incident response, and detailed report writing. Inspectors work with airport representatives, airline personnel, law-enforcement partners, and other stakeholders to identify compliance concerns and strengthen aviation security.
