Full job description
BACKGROUND
The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) is a unique facility located at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD, dedicated to defending the nation against biological threats. Established in response to biodefense gaps identified after the Amerithrax attacks of 2001, NBACC has been operated by the Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI) since 2006.
NBACC supports DHS and national biodefense preparedness planning, response, emerging threat characterization, and bioforensic analyses. It addresses critical scientific knowledge gaps regarding biological agents to protect the public and defend the nation against biological threats - whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate. NBACC also provides federal law enforcement with scientific data to support the investigation and attribution of biocrimes and the protection of the U.S. bioeconomy.
NBACC is comprised of two centers:
National Bioforensic Analysis Center (NBFAC): Conducts technical analyses to support federal law enforcement investigations.
National Biological Threat Characterization Center (NBTCC): Conducts experiments and studies to gather data for understanding biological vulnerabilities and hazards.
Together, these centers serve as a national resource for assessing risks posed by biological agents and emerging technologies, informing biodefense policy and response planning, and supporting the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of biocrimes and bioterrorism.
QUALIFICATIONS
High School graduate (or equivalent) with a minimum of 4 years of experience related to commercial and industrial HVAC systems or critical infrastructure systems. Previous experience maintaining equipment within high-containment facilities is preferred.

Ability to read and interpret schematics for electrical and control systems
Ability to work independently on non-critical systems and under supervision for critical systems.
Must be willing to obtain and maintain qualifications for maintenance activities in BSL-2, BSL-3, and BSL-4 biocontainment laboratories.
Familiarity with Airlock decontamination using Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide preferred.
Skills and experience to support laboratory activities in accordance with NBACC’s management system (e.g., ISO).

Follows facility-specific biosafety and biosecurity protocols, including proper use of PPE and adherence to NBACC safety procedures.
Complete tasks assigned through the Asset Management System.

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Assists technicians with predictive, preventive, and corrective maintenance tasks on specialty facility systems or industrial control systems by performing assigned tasks with limited supervision.

Be a self-starter driven by eagerness to succeed, maintain flexibility, adapt to change productively, learn new concepts, and utilize critical thinking to resolve complex problems.
Maintain appropriate records.
Perform other duties as assigned/authorized.
SECURITY/ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center is one of the central elements in the United States’ Biodefense enterprise. It is the only national security-focused biocontainment laboratory and has been operating without interruption at BSL-0 through BSL-4 for more than 12 years. The NBACC houses two independent but complementary science programs: the National Biological Threat Characterization Center (NBTCC) and the National Bioforensic Analysis Center (NBFAC). NBTCC is a DHS entity that performs work for a wide range of partners including DHS, DoD, HHS, the Intelligence Community, and others, and largely focuses on applied research projects aimed at providing its US Government (USG) partners with the information they need to assess the risks associated with biological agents and technologies and develop strategies for countering threats that are identified. NBFAC is an FBI organization that functions as the FBI’s ‘Special Projects’ lab in analyzing evidentiary material that requires biocontainment, as well as a wide range of samples that require advanced scientific methods and/or unique security and safety measures that are not available anywhere else.
Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI) is a single purpose non-profit corporation that manages the NBACC as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) for the Department of Homeland Security. We are always looking for talented people to join our science staff, help manage one of the most complex biocontainment operations in existence, and support our staff in HR, finance, security, safety, and other groups at NBACC. If you would like to join BNBI’s team and support an organization that plays a pivotal role in defending the United States against biological threats, check out our jobs page, visit our website, or contact us directly.
