Full Job Description
About the Role

Must be located in the Washington, DC area. Potential for client-approved remote work.

In this role, you will perform substantive federal position-classification work that directly affects organizational structure, position responsibilities, and compensation levels across the Coast Guard's civilian workforce. You will write and revise position descriptions, conduct job evaluations, apply Office of Personnel Management classification standards, and prepare well-supported classification determinations and evaluation statements.

This position is well suited for an experienced federal classification professional who can independently analyze complex positions, exercise sound judgment, and clearly explain classification decisions. The primary place of performance is USCG Headquarters in Washington, DC, with potential for Government-approved remote work for appropriate tasks.

Key Responsibilities

Tasks include but are not limited to:

  • Write, revise, and evaluate federal position descriptions and associated classification documentation.
  • Tentatively classify positions in accordance with OPM classification standards and applicable General Schedule and Federal Wage System guidance.
  • Conduct job evaluations using OPM's Factor Evaluation System and applicable DHS and Coast Guard policies.
  • Compare position descriptions with classification standards and similar positions to promote consistency in title, series, grade, and compensation determinations.
  • Prepare clear, defensible evaluation statements, including advisory statements for complex or precedent-setting classification decisions.
  • Conduct job audits and gather information needed to accurately assess position duties, responsibilities, and organizational relationships.
  • Edit existing position descriptions, develop new classification language, and prepare related workforce profiles.
  • Submit draft and revised position descriptions to subject-matter experts, command advisors, and organizational stakeholders for review and approval.
  • Upload classification documents and supporting information into the Coast Guard's position-classification system.
  • Interpret and apply federal classification policies, regulations, directives, and established precedents.

Required Qualifications

  • At least six years of experience performing federal position-classification support comparable to the responsibilities described above.
  • Demonstrated experience writing, editing, evaluating, and classifying federal position descriptions.
  • Working knowledge of OPM classification standards and the Factor Evaluation System.
  • Ability to interpret and properly apply Government policies, regulations, directives, and classification guidance.
  • Strong analytical, written communication, and oral communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
  • Ability to successfully complete Government-required background, credentialing, and system-access processes.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience classifying General Schedule, supervisory, team-leader, or Federal Wage System positions.
  • Experience preparing evaluation statements for complex or precedent-setting classification decisions.
  • Previous classification experience supporting DHS, the Coast Guard, or another federal civilian HR organization.
  • Experience working with federal electronic position-classification systems.

Work Location and Flexibility

The primary work location is the Douglas A. Munro Coast Guard Headquarters Building in Washington, DC. The position offers potential for remote or telework flexibility when approved by the Government and appropriate for the assigned work. Remote work is not guaranteed, and some duties may require onsite performance.

This is an opportunity to apply specialized federal classification expertise to meaningful work supporting the Coast Guard's civilian workforce. You will perform substantive classification analysis, collaborate with experienced HR and organizational stakeholders, and contribute to accurate, consistent workforce decisions across a nationally important federal agency. The position also offers a predictable weekday schedule, no required travel, and potential remote-work flexibility.

DysTech is a federal contractor supporting Department of Defense and civilian-agency missions through disciplined execution, responsive customer service, and a commitment to quality.

This position is contingent upon contract award, Government approval, and successful completion of all applicable employment and Government credentialing requirements.
