Our mission at the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is advancing the health and well-being of all Ohioans. Our agency is committed to building a modern, vibrant public health system that creates the conditions where all Ohioans flourish.

ODH is seeking to fill a Program Administrator 2 within the Bureau of Environmental Health and Radiation Protection (BEHRP). This position will:

• Assist in the direction of BEHRP by supporting programmatic operations across all Bureau programs (e.g., coordination, creation, and maintenance of procedures, policies and requests of the Bureau Chief [BC])
• Represent BC and BEHRP at meetings regarding operational procedures (e.g., fiscal issues, policies, coordination of support staff)
• Formulate and implement BEHRP operational policies and procedures (e.g., work hours, call-off procedures, in and out-of-state travel, overtime/compensatory time, updating position descriptions, records retention, confidentiality statements)
• Conduct literature searches of emerging issues and coordinate staff engagement in review on behalf of BC
• Establish and oversee maintenance of fiscal controls and monitor fiscal records

Normal working hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm (Flexible Schedule). This is an exempt hourly position, with a pay range of 12 on the E1 Exempt Pay Range Schedule.

Unless required by legislation, the selected candidate will begin at Pay Grade 12, Step 1 of the Exempt Pay Range Schedule ($33.32 per hour), with an opportunity for pay increase after six months ($35.21 per hour) of satisfactory performance and then a yearly raise thereafter.

The final candidate selected for this position will be required to undergo a criminal background check. Criminal convictions do not necessarily preclude an applicant from consideration for a position. An individual assessment of an applicant's prior criminal convictions will be made before excluding an applicant from consideration.

Official educational transcripts are required for all post-secondary education claimed on the application before a formal job offer can be made. Transcripts must be provided within five (5) working days of the request; failure to provide them will cause elimination from further consideration. Transcripts must be originals sent directly from the institution featuring an institutional watermark, ink stamp, or embossed stamp.

Web printouts will not be accepted.

ODH reserves the right to evaluate the credibility of any degree or educational institution.
