Welcome to the latest edition of our exciting federal employment opportunities roundup!

1. Contract Administrator

Do defense contracts excite you? If the answer’s yes, you’ll want to see this Defense Department (DoD) opening in Chantilly, Virginia. Joining DoD’s Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), you’ll determine which contracts are eligible for DCMA to acquire. Once DCMA acquires a contract, you’ll decide how it’s progressing and when the contractual end items have been delivered. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll resolve disputes between auditors and contractors to keep public services flowing smoothly. Click here to view this job.

2. Chief Information Officer

Chief information officers (CIOs) are increasingly important at today’s agencies, and the Energy Department (DOE) is no exception. Not only is DOE’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Washington, D.C., it needs a CIO of its own. FERC’s CIO will help acquire and manage its IT resources, making it critical for the agency’s operations. Given FERC oversees the transmission of electricity, oil and natural gas, this is a spot that’s equally appealing to energy and technology buffs. Click here to view this job.

3. Scientist

If you always enjoyed science experiments in school, you’ll want to look at this slot with the Navy. Located in Crane, Indiana, you’ll become part of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Once there, you’ll develop and test new concepts, equipment and materials. Ultimately, the work you do will improve the Navy’s existing capabilities or create entirely new ones. Click here to view this job.

4. Health Physicist (Radiation Safety Officer)

When it comes to radiation, safety’s first. Subsequently, the Veterans Affairs Department (VA) is looking for a radiation safety officer who can work for its Veterans Health Administration (VHA) component. If selected, you’ll be based in Hines, Illinois. You’ll also establish and implement the radiation safety policies and procedures at two separate facilities. The work you’ll do will involve direct radiation safety support for each clinical therapeutic case, so it will directly impact VHA’s overall health. Click here to view this job.

5. Assistant Fire Management Officer

Adventurers should adore this Interior Department (DOI) position in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Housed in DOI’s National Park Service (NPS), it concerns the Bandelier National Monument. Nestled on the slopes of the Jemez Mountains, Bandelier is a 33,000+ acre monument that houses scores of ancestral Pueblo sites. If that wasn’t enticing enough, this position involves coordinating, managing and evaluating fire management across a wide range of elevations and terrains. Click here to view this job.
