IT Project Manager (Network/INFOSEC)
Offices, Boards and Divisions · Department of Justice
This job in plain English
This is a full-time IT Project Manager job focused on network and information security at the Department of Justice in Washington, DC. It sits in the Chief Information Officer's Enterprise Infrastructure and Operations team and is filled under direct-hire authority, which skips the usual veterans' preference and category rating steps. The job requires about 25% travel and a Top Secret security clearance.

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

- Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.
Other groups listed above may get extra consideration, for example veterans' preference.
The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Federal employees who lost their job through elimination or displacement may apply under the CTAP or ICTAP career transition programs and get priority if rated well qualified.

Do you qualify for GS-13?

- For CTAP or ICTAP claims only: agency separation notice, most recent performance appraisal, and most recent SF-50
How you will be rated: You are rated on how well you meet the qualifications, based on your questionnaire answers, resume, and the USA Hire assessment, which you must score at or above the cut score to be considered. If your specialized experience statement is repeated in your resume, you may be ruled ineligible.
Tips for this job:
- Your resume must show your specialized experience with month and year dates, duties, and accomplishments, and it must support your questionnaire answers.
