Entry-level Power Engineering Civilian Position with US Army

My name is Tom VanAlstyne. I am a supervisor at Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Department of Public Works. Next Tuesday we are scheduled to post a job on USAJOBS for an entry level electrical engineer. The type of work is design and project management for the repair of the base infrastructure which we own from the substations down to the outlets in the electrical utility area. I am hoping that either some recent graduates or students graduating in May have shown interest in the power side of electrical engineering and would consider applying for our position. We also do digital work with the DDC and SCADA systems on the various utilities. 

The position is labeled Electrical Engineer (Recent Graduate). The individual selected will go through a two year training/orientation program starting at the GS-7 grade level, promoting to GS-9 after one year, and upon successful completion being appointed to a GS-11 journeyman EE position.
