About The Position

The Laborer/ Depot Technician I performs routine inspections, preventive maintenance, minor repairs, and general upkeep of facilities, grounds, storage areas, waterfront infrastructure, and related equipment at the SISS operational compound at Naval Base Kitsap–Bangor, Washington. The role maintains marine mammal enclosure support structures and waterfront equipment, performs basic carpentry and general repairs, and supports groundskeeping, equipment care, and maintenance documentation. The employee identifies deficiencies and escalates work requiring higher-level support or qualified service providers. The position also supports approved installations, relocations, site improvements, weather preparation, post-storm cleanup, inventory, shipping and receiving, and other time-sensitive maintenance. After completing required training and receiving authorization, the employee may inspect, service, install, remove, replace, and troubleshoot designated SISS equipment in accordance with technical manuals and configuration-control requirements. Waterfront and vessel tasks may include line handling, securing equipment, and moving materials; vessels may be operated only when properly qualified and authorized. Work is conducted in buildings, shops, outdoor grounds, storage areas, small boats, floating piers, platforms, and marine mammal enclosure infrastructure. The environment includes variable marine weather, wet and slippery surfaces, salt spray, equipment noise, tools, machinery, and vehicle traffic. The employee must coordinate work around security operations and marine mammal activities and follow site access, environmental, animal-area, waterfront, and occupational safety requirements. The role is temporary full-time, with no travel required. Candidates must meet access screening requirements, complete required training, and obtain required boat-operator qualification after hire before independently operating an assigned powered vessel. Proof of citizenship is required as a condition of employment; candidates may be required to obtain and hold a Secret or higher government clearance.
