Director Office of Non-Management and Operating Contracts

What you would do

• Lead acquisition planning and strategy for DOE's non-M&O contracts.
• Serve as Head of Contracting Activity for the non-M&O contract portfolio.
• Resolve bid protests, contractor claims, and complex FAR and DEAR interpretations.
• Oversee facilities, personal property, logistics, and construction management functions.
• Lead senior managers and manage the office's budget, personnel, and resources.
• Brief congressional staff and federal oversight bodies on acquisition requirements.

Do you qualify for ES?

With experience: You must show senior-level experience with federal acquisition laws and regulations, leading complex, high-dollar federal contracts (Technical Qualification 1). You must also show executive leadership that shapes acquisition programs across departments and agencies (Technical Qualification 2). Both must be shown with examples in your resume.

With education: No education requirement is stated. If you list degrees, they must come from schools accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting institution.

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 pages, with at least 10-point font, showing experience and examples for each qualification
• Evidence of the five Executive Core Qualifications and both Technical Qualifications inside the resume
• SF-50 showing SES appointment and career or reinstatement status, if you are a current or former SES member
• Proof of SES Candidate Development Program completion and QRB certification, if applicable
• SF-50 or equivalent showing current federal employment, if you are a current federal employee

How you will be rated: Your application is first checked for minimum qualifications, then your two-page resume is rated on the Technical Qualifications and Executive Core Qualifications. Separate narratives are not accepted, and resume content past page 2 will not be reviewed.

Tips for this job:

• Put evidence for all five Executive Core Qualifications and both Technical Qualifications inside your two-page resume, because separate narratives are not accepted.
• Do not use the USAJOBS Resume Builder. Upload your own resume, and keep it within two pages with at least 10-point font.
• If you are a current or former SES member or federal employee, upload your SF-50 as a required document.
