Position Overview:
As a Junior Assessor, you will play a key role in conducting Security Control Assessments at various government sites, with approximately 85% of your time dedicated to travel. Travel may be domestic or international, depending on mission requirements, and per diem is provided to cover expenses. You'll have the flexibility to work from home when not on assignment, but must be local to one of our three locations for training and occasional customer meetings - Alexandria, VA, Fort Meade, MD, or Chambersburg, PA.
Your first 6-8 weeks will involve assessment training in a virtual classroom environment, which includes training modules, lectures, and exams. You will also gain hands-on experience by shadowing Senior Assessors on local assessments across the greater DC-Baltimore area (referred to as "check rides").
