-\tConduct interviews and gather evidence within the context of the evaluation.
-\tReport results and findings from evaluations to appropriate parties; and
-\tConduct risk evaluations on facilities, operations, or systems.
Additionally, the ideal candidate should thrive in a dynamic and challenging mission space that requires critical thinking, creativity, strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills, and the ability to partner at all levels across organizational and Agency boundaries, often with minimal supervision and/or precedent. The ability to effectively interact with individuals possessing diverse skill sets is also desired.
All Evaluators are required to complete at least 40 hours of annual training to maintain requisite knowledge, skills, abilities, and professional development. The ideal candidate is someone with a desire for continuous learning who has strong problem-solving, communication (both oral and written), and interpersonal skills. The ideal candidate should also be accountable, detail oriented, able to adapt to changing requirements, able to manage multiple tasks and assignments, and able to work effectively (independently or within teams) across functional areas in a professional and collaborative environment.
