Career In Ground Ops?

Evening all,

I'm currently looking at all my future career options and one of the career paths I think I might enjoy is working in ground ops at a civil airport.

I'm currently the deputy flight ops manager at an RAF air traffic control tower where I help deal with the day to day running of all things airfield as well as looking after 15 chaps who work under me.

I'm wondering if I can transfer any of my current talents into civvy street.

BCU duties
Met observer trained (Met College, Exeter)
Helicopter and Fxd Wing Marshalling
Tower Assistant
Runway Caravan Controller
Flight and Route Planning
Airfield Driving
Runway, Surface and Airield Inspections

Obviously I know not all are tranferable to civil jobs and those above are just a few. Does anyone know where I can fit things like this into a job in civvy street. Fingers crossed there might be a few ex RAF guys who are already in a job.

Whats the pay like aswell?

Many thanks folks
