Telecommunications Services Officer

As a Telecommunications Services Officer for CIA, you will act as the on-site point of accountability for Information Technology (IT) in CIA communications centers overseas. You will operate, maintain, install and manage complex LAN and WAN platforms and provide associated IT close support to a diverse and sophisticated customer base charged with advancing national security objectives overseas. Telecommunications Services Officers are also responsible for conventional and tactical voice communication systems, RF communication capabilities (including satellite), and will play a supporting role in the operation and maintenance of emergency power generators and heating/air conditioning systems (HVAC).

The capacity and commitment to serve globally is essential. Telecommunications Services Officers typically spend 60-70% of their career abroad on foreign assignments approximately one to three years in duration and are regularly required to work in the Washington DC metropolitan area and abroad in temporary capacities as the mission dictates. Some assignments may be in difficult, harsh and challenging environments. CIA offers benefits and allowances for travel that positively impact overall compensation.
