We are seeking an Office Administrator to support the IT Operations organizations in the Force Projection Sector (FPS), including the Classified IT Infrastructure Group (KIT) and the IT Security & Customer Services Group (KIX). You'll be joining a hardworking team of facility administrators, systems administrators, information security officers and video teleconferencing technicians who strive to provide timely, reliable and valuable IT & Security operations support and expertise to our customers.

Additionally, as part of the FPS Operations Organization central administrative support model, you, in coordination with your peer administrators will provide seamless support to the other Operations groups and functions as needed (typically when their primary administrator is out or during peak workload periods or for special projects as assigned.)
You will process procurement requests for IT equipment and supplies, including the receipt, delivery and distribution of items to the appropriate IT facility or staff member. In addition, you will process the shipment of IT equipment to FPS field offices and other locations. [Note: this may require moving of equipment and boxes weighing up to 25 pounds]

You will assist in the logistics of all FPS IT Operations staff office moves, including working with the Sector Move Coordinator to schedule staff moves and ensuring that staff have a complete and fully functioning office set-up. In addition, you will actively participate in the on-boarding activities for all new FPS Operations staff members.
You will serve as the Group Property Associate for the KIT and KIX groups, ensuring all property is current and accounted for on a regular basis. You will process surplus property requests and assist in the Lab's required wall-to-wall inventory process.
You will assist in updating Sector IT and Security operations-related information and reports, including updating and distributing weekly status reports and sending regular FPS IT Operations communications to the Sector.
You will serve as a member of the FPS Operations Organization Central Admin team and work together with the other Ops Organization Office Administrators to create standard operating procedures and achieve common objectives for the entire FPS Operations groups.
