  • 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.

  • Supervise and train inmate workers on electrical installation, construction and maintenance.
  • Perform electrical work yourself when security concerns or a lack of skilled inmate workers require it.
  • Apply the National Electrical Code, local codes, blueprints and wiring diagrams.
  • Help maintain institution security along with all other correctional staff.

Do you qualify for WS-9?

With experience: You must show you have enough training and experience to do the duties of the job. The announcement does not give a specific number of years or a grade level for experience.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume, up to 2 pages, with your name, contact information and relevant experience
  • Start and end dates (MM/YYYY) and hours per week for each job on your resume
  • DD-214 if you claim veterans' preference (honorable or general discharge)
  • SF-15 and VA letter if you claim 10-point preference as a disabled veteran or eligible family member

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must show start and end dates in MM/YYYY format and hours per week for each job, or the experience may not count.
  • Describe your supervision of workers and your electrical skills in detail, because both are screened closely.
  • All required documents must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on 11/05/2026, and missing documents can cause you to lose veterans' preference.
