The Energy Department is advertising for a deputy manager at the Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) in Tennessee.
The position has not been filled permanently since Jay Mullis became OREM manager last fall. Mullis had been OREM’s acting manager since October 2016, and was also the deputy manager since February 2015.
The Energy Department posted an advertisement for the senior executive service position June 20 via the website, http://federalgovernmentjobs.us. July 5 is the deadline to apply for the position, which lists a salary range between $165,000 and $189,000.
OREM is responsible for remediation work across the 32,400-acre Oak Ridge Reservation. In addition to serving as the “alter-ego” of the site manager, the advertisement says the deputy manager will make budget recommendations, participate in long-range planning, and promote stakeholder involvement at the site.
“The scope of work includes managing a portfolio whose lifecycle costs are in excess of $15 billion with an annual budget of approximately $500 million,” DOE said in the job notice.
Meanwhile, the Site Specific Advisory Board (SSAB) for Oak Ridge is scheduled to meet Aug. 25 in Gatlinburg, Tenn., to discuss plans for fiscal 2019, which starts Oct., 1, and review developments from fiscal 2018.
