The Role and Your Impact
As a Data Center Administrator, you will be a vital part of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's operations, blending policy management with hands-on engineering.

This position is based primarily at Fort Belvoir, VA, with a temporary secondary location in Reston, VA. The role demands a high level of physical engagement, including server rack moving, installing, grounding, and cable management.
