  • Assist in the installation and maintenance of other moderately complex security equipment and electronic systems as required.
  • Collaborate with other departments within the Laboratory as necessary.
  • Work alongside other members of the Electronic Security and Risk Mitigation Group to ensure the seamless operation of related security systems and equipment.

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen and eligible to obtain a Secret Security Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Strong skills in MS Office applications, including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, along with familiarity with Visio, Paint, or CAD software.
