Full Job Description

The mission of the Department of Energy (DOE) is to ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions.

Applications will be used to fill positions by the hiring officials at DOE Human Capital Shared Service Center (Headquarters and their associated field offices).

In order to qualify, applicants must be eligible for appointment under the 30% or more disabled veterans hiring authority.

The 30% or More Disabled Veteran hiring authority allows an agency to non-competitively appoint any veteran with a 30% or more service-connected disability.

You are eligible if you: are retired from active military service with a service-connected disability rating of 30% or more, OR have a rating by the Department of Veterans Affairs showing a compensable service-connected disability of 30% or more.

This authority can be used to make temporary (at least 60 days but not to exceed 1 year) or term (more than 1 year, but not more than 4) appointments in the competitive service.

There is no grade level restriction.

There is no requirement that you be converted to a permanent position, but an agency has the authority to convert such a position to a permanent position if it chooses to do so.

The agency would first place you on a time limited appointment of at least 60 days and could then convert that appointment to a permanent appointment at management's discretion.

When the authority is used to meet a time-limited need, however, you will not be converted to a permanent appointment.

You must provide acceptable documentation of your preference or appointment eligibility which is listed under the "Required Documents" section of this announcement.

All applicants must be aware that this announcement DOES NOT guarantee selection for employment, only a method in which to be considered for employment.

In order to be considered all applicants submitting their information for this file must submit applicable documents listed in the "Required Documents" section below.

Limit your resume to no more than two (2) pages. If more than two pages are submitted, only the first two pages will be reviewed to determine your eligibility and qualifications.

Your full resume will be made available to the hiring manager if you are referred. Major Duties:

Your application will be placed into a pool of eligible 30% Disabled Veteran applicants available for opportunities in your selected areas of interest or selection via a non-competitive hiring authority.

This announcement may be used to fill one or more vacancies at any time without notification, in any of the below series or grade.
