Interesting mission hampered by bureaucracy and poor IT infrastructure

Construction manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great opportunities for travel (if interested). - Well defined career tracks and pay scales. - Consistent hours

Cons

- You face extreme bureaucracy at times. It can take 9+ months for simple things like professional registration reimbursement. - Poor IT infrastructure. Computers take upwards of 30 minutes to turn on and you will face semi-frequent outages. - Outdated processes and programs. NAVFAC continues to use proprietary programs that don’t work instead of adopting commercial alternatives. For example construction submittals are still processed via Outlook and Excel because NAVFAC’s proprietary submittal management software has faced repeated delays and failures. - Very flat organization. Field offices generally have a handful of GS-14s and the bulk of the engineers/construction managers are GS-12. If you secure a GS-13 spot there is very little opportunity to advance your career from there.
