Job Summary

This position is in the Office of the Administrator (OA), Office of National Security and Operations Coordination, Intelligence and Threat Mitigation Division. About this organization: https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-office-administrator. This is an office-centered position--you must physically report to the duty station stated in this announcement on a regular basis.

Key Responsibilities

At the highest advertised grade, you will: Monitor and track National Security Information (NSI) Program implementation in support of information security (INFOSEC) and the information classification process for the Environmental Protection Agency.

Coordinate and perform oversight reviews to monitor program implementation and practices, ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations, executive orders, and directives for the management, storage, and protection of classified information.

Coordinate with the Personnel Security Branch (PSB) manager and address requests for Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances, Homeland Secure Data Network (HSDN) accounts, and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) accounts. Maintain in-depth knowledge of security policies and procedures, ensuring that security program reference materials and guidelines are available and up to date.

If you are hired at a lower grade level, your duties will be less complex and you will have more supervisory oversight. You may be promoted to more complex duties and work more independently, as your career progresses. NOTE: Career ladder promotions are not automatic, and all eligibility and qualifications requirements must be met in order to progress to the next grade level.

You will spend less than 25% of your work time on contracts, grants/cooperative agreements, and/or interagency agreements. One or more positions may be filled (in the organization advertised and/or in other organizations), if appropriate to the position.

Benefits

Benefits will not change for current permanent EPA employees. If you are selected for this position, situational telework may be approved by your supervisor if you meet eligibility requirements, as allowable by agency policy and/or applicable collective bargaining agreement. EPA policy only allows telework to be approved situationally. Situational telework is for work or assignments of specific limited duration on an occasional, emergency, or ad hoc basis.

NOTE: If you are an EPA employee who currently works at a remote work location (i.e., full-time telework), your approval for remote work does not transfer to this position, subject to Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act.
