“We are current seeking highly motivated and qualified candidates to fill immediate positions in the Hampton Roads area to better serve our Navy fleet and the warfighter,” said NAVFAC MIDLANT Human Resources Director Jessica Thompson. “We are fortunate to host this event because it helps us reach a wide variety of qualified candidates, and allows my team to provide important information to candidates who may not know about the benefits available to federal workers.”
NAVFAC MIDLANT is recruiting for open positions in a variety of professional disciplines, to include: HVAC/DDC Mechanics, High Voltage Electricians, Plumbers, Electricians, Crane Operators, Machinists, Riggers, Heavy Mobile Equipment Mechanics, Engineers and Architects, Construction Managers, Contract Specialists, Financial Management Analysts, and others!
NAVFAC MIDLANT recruitment efforts in Hampton Roads cover job openings at all area installations – Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Naval Air Station Oceana; Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. Because the command spans from Maine to South Carolina, and as far west as Illinois, applicants may also qualify for open positions in other areas within MIDLANT region.
“NAVFAC MIDLANT’s mission is to support the Navy and Marine Corps,” said NAVFAC MIDLANT Business Director Tom Barstow. “Through Career Fairs, such as this, we can match open job vacancies with the right people for the right jobs.”
