Jobs: Project Manager/Site Manager/PSS/DM-WPS, OCONUS

Filed under: Jobs — Tags: , , , , , , , — Matt @ 1:20 AM

   I am not the POC or recruiter and please use the email provided below in order to submit your resume. Now if this is another ‘notional opportunity’ thing, who knows, but it doesn’t hurt to get in the ring and submit anyways.  I noticed that Wakenhut was advertising as well for WPS guys. (I am sure all of the big companies are in on the bid) So we will see.

   A couple of things about this.  First, I mentioned yesterday that the requirements for security is pretty high right now in Afghanistan, and this drive to up the numbers of WPS folks is a part of that process.  The worldwide requirements for securing government employees out there is tremendous. So the WPS program will need some folks, and it will be interesting to watch that evolve and grow.  Although the one thing I continue to hear from contractors on this program, is that the rules and policies can get pretty ridiculous, and it is filled with typical government bureaucracy. But work is work.

   The other thing I wanted to mention, is that EODT has a great company website.  What makes it so cool is the RSS it has for company news.  Now if they could do the same for jobs, and if all the companies could set up RSS for their jobs and news, well then all of us would be happy.  I might have to do a post on this. –Matt

   I am not the point of contact or recruiter for this.  Be advised that this company does not have the contract yet and I haven’t a clue about their background. The only activity I have seen from them, was that they were looking for MI17 pilots for the CNTPO program. Other than that, that is all I have heard, so job hunter beware.  Good luck and let me know how it goes if they do get the contract and you get the call. –Matt

Government Work: Army To Hire 3,000 Security Guards, CONUS

Filed under: Government Work,Industry Talk,Jobs — Tags: , , , , , , — Matt @ 12:31 AM

   I actually think this is good news for the guards at these facilities, just as long as the pay doesn’t change. You can dress it up any way you want, but as long as you pay peanuts, you will get monkeys for these positions.  What’s worse, is that if the government does hire someone who sucks, it is incredibly difficult to fire them. Trust me on that one, because I saw it time and time again when working for the feds.

   On the plus side, these guys can hopefully participate in federal benefits (TSP, healthcare, education, etc.).  That’s unless the feds hire them on as temporary employees or some other federal classification that allows the government to not hook them up.

   As to the reasons for switching over, who knows.  Congress somehow thinks that waving the federal wand over a project will somehow make it magically run better.  I beg to differ, and I have seen some screwed up agencies and departments in the federal government.  Poor management, poor communications between agencies and departments, and apathy amongst employees who think that the government will never fire them no matter what they do, seem to be the down sides with this.

    The big one is management, and what applies to private industry, applies to the feds as well. And with government, managers tend to protect themselves with loopholes and government rules to do whatever the hell they want.  Employees can use EEO to do some crazy stuff as well.  As best I can describe, if you wanted to do zero work, you could figure out a multitude of loopholes in the system that would help you accomplish that.  The feds are soooo inefficient, it’s not even funny. But hey, whatever floats congress’ boat.

    What comes to mind is the TSA and how they are viewed by the public. Once you join the ‘govy’, you are now ‘the man’ that everyone loves to hate on. lol If you want to apply for this stuff, just follow the links below for USAJobs and type in ‘security guard’ for your part of the country. –Matt

Army to hire 3,000 security guards

Apr 7, 2010

By IMCOM Public Affairs

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (April 7, 2010) — The Army is converting about 2,500 installation access control point security guard positions from contractor to federal employee status at nearly 50 stateside locations.Overall, Installation Management Command will be announcing 3,076 openings for guards that will be needed at every garrison, except those aligned under Base Realignment and Closure or those transitioning to joint bases where another service is the lead agency.Why is the conversion being made? Congressional mandates and the expected loss of a waiver established after 9/11 that allowed the Department of Defense to contract security guard services at military installations in the States, said Craig Shreiner, branch chief of physical security for IMCOM.
