This job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or owe allegiance to the U.S. The agency clarifies that it is open to all U.S. citizens.

  • Install and maintain plumbing fixtures, pipes, and valves
  • Repair steam piping, valves, and steam-powered equipment
  • Perform welding and mechanical repairs on medical and housekeeping equipment

Do you qualify for WG-10?

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume, no longer than two pages, in PDF or another accepted format of 5MB or less
  • Other accepted documents from the USAJOBS list only if they apply to you, such as an SF-50 for ICTAP or CTAP priority

How you will be rated: Your occupational questionnaire is checked first for the minimum qualification, which is the screen-out element. Eligible applicants are then rated on job elements such as equipment repair, blueprint reading, measurement and layout, troubleshooting, and working without more than normal supervision. Applicants are ineligible if required documents are missing or if the resume is longer than two pages.

Tips for this job:

  • Describe each past job with duties, dates, and hours per week, because the VA will not assume your experience
