United States Fleet Forces Command

U.S. Fleet Forces Command is the Navy’s Atlantic-based fleet command, headquartered at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. It trains, certifies and provides ready naval forces to the combatant commands and oversees a range of subordinate commands, including the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, which is why its civilian announcements mix headquarters staff roles with scientific and technical positions.

Recent listings have included program analysts and a management and program analyst, meteorologists and a supervisory meteorologist, physical scientists and a supervisory physical scientist, a supervisory nuclear engineer, an engineering technician, a systems accountant, a workforce readiness specialist, a supervisory human capital analyst, a supervisory security specialist, an IT specialist in systems administration, a supervisory management analyst and a program manager.

Applying tip: Navy civilian announcements are often open to several groups at once, such as current federal employees, veterans and military spouses, and the “This job is open to” section tells you which apply to you. Scientific positions in the 1300 group carry positive education requirements, so check the basic requirements before you apply. Our engineering guide covers the technical side of Navy hiring.
