Looking for Southern California Tower info

I am interested in trying to get picked up by a tower in the southern California area and figured I'd give it a shot and see if anyone had any info on any current/ future openings.
Thanks!

Contract, FAA, or DOD?

For Contract Towers, I believe Serco operates most if not all of them in CA. You can find those facilities on here and contact them directly to see if they have any openings.

FAA, you have to apply to the announcements applicable to you and see if you get picked up Center or Terminal. Watch USAJobs for those announcements. Obviously if you want to get a tower, you'll have to get selected for a terminal position. Unlike Center hires that know exactly what Center they're going to, you don't really know what terminal facility you're going to because it depends on facility needs and FAA academy availabilit, so you could end up at a tower in any part of CA. Also, it is still taking a while for CA terminal selectees to get a class date. That may have changed, but you should definitely search through the threads to research this.

For DOD towers, you have to apply via USAJobs as well. I know March ARB in Riverside usually have an opening at least once a year.

For now Im looking for the contract route, or even a municipal GA
Didn't make the FAA cut this time around and haven't had any luck with Dod.
Ill keep checking with Serco.

Thanks for the info!

If you go enroute and get selected in CA, you would probably be able to trade for a tower... I know one guy for sure who would trade his tower position for an enroute. I don't know if you get to choose anymore, but I imagine this position would give you a little leverage in trading.

Serco has several openings listed on their jobs site..San Luis Obispo and Palmdale are the two open in CA currently.
