ACCESS TO RESTRICTED INFORMATION: This role requires immediate and routine access to restricted information under federal law, including but not limited to Export Controlled Information (ECI), Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI), Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Department of Energy Official Use Only (DOE OUO), and/or ITAR?controlled technical data. Under applicable DOE orders and client contracts, non?U.S. citizen candidates (including lawful permanent residents) may require an approved DOE Foreign National Visit/Assignment (FNVA) before beginning work or accessing project information. Because this position requires immediate access and project timelines do not accommodate new government approval processing, JFT may be unable to initiate or sponsor new FNVA approval processes or defer start dates pending FNVA approval for this role. Accordingly, hiring and placement into this role is contingent on the candidate's eligibility to access the required information and facilities as of the start date, including having any required government approvals already in place. All offers of employment are contingent on satisfying all applicable licensing, training, and other client/government approval requirements. JFT does not sponsor employment visas. Decisions relating to hiring and placement for this role are based solely on client and government access requirements and project timing, and not on citizenship, immigration status, or national origin. Candidates who would require new approvals may be considered for other roles not subject to these access requirements, if available. JFT is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants consistent with applicable laws.

FLSA EXEMPT/NONEXEMPT STATUS: FLSA Exempt, not eligible for overtime.
