POSITION DESCRIPTION:
PERIKIN is a proven and established international professional services, advanced engineering, and construction firm with over 130 professionals helping the nation achieve its national defense objectives. We operate primarily in federal markets working with the Department of Defense, multiple US Army Corps of Engineers district offices, and the DOE National Nuclear Security Administration, among others. We are headquartered in Albuquerque, NM, with offices in Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, Washington DC, Ohio, and Mexico. At PERIKIN we believe teamwork is the key to success which is why we are committed to supporting each other in work and life. We work vigorously to ensure we provide our team members with the necessary resources, compensation, training, education, development, and benefits to prosper.
PERIKIN Enterprises maintains a contract with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Global Material Security (GMS) (NA-21). The GMS's mission is to prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear or radioactive material that could be used in an attack on the United States, its interests, or allies. GMS works with partners worldwide to secure nuclear and radioactive material and to detect and deter the trafficking of this material. GMS is comprised of three offices: International Nuclear Security, Radiological Security, and Nuclear Smuggling Detection and Deterrence.
PRIMARY JOB DUTIES
The Correspondence Analyst, known internally as Action Officer, will directly support GMS senior leadership. The position requires a background in executive assistance or other administrative support. The position will involve, but is not limited to, the following:
Receive, process, and coordinate office-level responses to multiple requests for information (in the form of executive "taskers") daily. Prepare and edit documents, briefings, and spreadsheets for consistency/accuracy and consolidate input from multiple stakeholders. This effort varies daily and includes regular communication (such as daily status updates and other instant messaging) and ad-hoc verbal communication. Any decision(s) is accurately transcribed to email for records purposes.
Quickly triage taskers as they are received and determine if the request pertains to GMS equities or if the office has fulfilled a similar request recently that could be recycled. Otherwise, provide clear direction to the program offices about what is needed, adding additional value beyond the content already listed in the tasking from GMS's parent office.
Clearly communicate the status of all taskers to the customers being directly supported. Ensure all deadlines are met with federal clearance obtained prior to official submissions.
Provide support in analyzing and developing processes/procedures for addressing internal business operations in coordination with the government.
Maintain situational awareness of the status of within-scope government programs for the purposes of management reporting, integrating workflow, and administrative planning
Organize and maintain historical records of program strategic messaging, priorities, and responses to DOE/NNSA requests and those external to DOE/NNSA (i.e., Congressional, international partners, GAO, OPM). This includes maintaining a thorough understanding of historical messaging (especially at the policy/strategic level) to aid as appropriate.
Attend and organize, as requested, program meetings to remain informed about program priorities, policies, and staffing. This will occasionally involve preparing meeting materials and recording minutes, reserving meeting spaces, greeting and escorting official visitors, or presenting on behalf of senior executives.
Scheduling responsibilities as requested.
