• Manage and resolve potential hazardous material issues (enhanced responsibility for GS-13).
• Perform dosimetry, manage radioactive waste, and conduct laboratory/workplace surveys.
• Maintain meticulous inventory and recordkeeping for radioactive materials.
• Implement contamination control measures.
• Develop and deliver specific training related to the use of radioactive materials.
• Manage contracts pertinent to radiation safety.
• Ensure compliance with byproduct materials licenses.
• Protect against unwarranted exposures to ionizing radiation.

### Qualifications:

• *Education:**
• A bachelor’s or graduate/higher level degree in Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health Sciences, Occupational and Environmental Health, Toxicology, Safety Sciences, or a related science.
