Administrative Assistant

Support mission-critical programs that enable U.S. Army C5ISR capabilities around the world as an Administrative Assistant. Here, you’ll see the bigger picture on mission initiatives while developing your program management career at GDIT.

MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT
As an Administrative Assistant supporting the Worldwide Field Support (WFS) Program Management Office (PMO) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland, the work you’ll do at GDIT will directly support Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) and ASIC in sustaining U.S. Army C5ISR systems and capabilities around the globe.

Your primary focus will be coordinating and tracking the deployment and redeployment of WFS personnel supporting operations in Southwest Asia and other worldwide locations while providing day-to-day program support to the WFS PMO.

● Coordinate deployment operations: Track personnel throughout the deployment and redeployment lifecycle, including selection, onboarding, readiness, travel, arrival, rotation, and return. Maintain accurate deployment trackers and provide status and risk visibility to WFS Program Management.
● Support employee onboarding: Coordinate with Recruiting, Human Resources, Security, and other organizations to support employee processing, Form I-9 requirements, credential verification, background screening, badging, security requirements, and required onboarding documentation.
● Coordinate deployment readiness: Assist employees with passports, visas, work permits, country-entry requirements, and other required deployment documentation. Coordinate medical-readiness processing with the designated medical provider, including appointments, required examinations, immunizations, documentation, and follow-up requirements.
● Support deployment processing: Coordinate personnel processing through the Fort Bliss CONUS Replacement Center (CRC) and other designated processing locations. Support scheduling, deployment packets, reporting instructions, documentation requirements, status tracking, and resolution of administrative deficiencies.
● Coordinate worldwide travel: Arrange and track domestic and international travel for deploying and redeploying personnel, including commercial airfare, lodging, rental vehicles, ground transportation, and other authorized travel. Coordinate with appropriate organizations when military or government-provided transportation is required.
● Support logistics and equipment movement: Coordinate with WFS Logistics to ensure employees receive required personal protective equipment (PPE) and mission-required equipment. Assist with equipment accountability, packing lists, shipping and customs documentation, commercial invoices, and applicable import/export documentation.
● Support financial administration: Coordinate with Finance, Program Controls, Payroll, and Human Resources regarding labor charging, travel expenses, and authorized deployment-related compensation, including applicable danger, hardship, location, foreign-service, special-duty, or other approved payments. Assist employees with expense reports and administrative payroll or travel-expense issues.
● Provide PMO support: Maintain program trackers and reports; collect and consolidate information; respond to data calls; prepare Excel reports and PowerPoint briefings; support customer meetings and In-Process Reviews (IPRs); capture meeting minutes; and track actions through completion.
● Collaborate across the program: Work with Program Management, Operations, Logistics, Hardware, Software, Finance, Program Controls, Contracts, Human Resources, Recruiting, Security, Travel, medical providers, government organizations, and geographically dispersed WFS personnel to support mission requirements.
● Identify and resolve issues: Monitor deadlines and requirements, identify potential deployment delays or documentation discrepancies, coordinate corrective actions, and elevate risks to WFS Program Management when appropriate.
