Job Description

Human Resources Specialist (ER/LR) | GS-13 | Non-Competitive Appointment Washington Headquarters Services — Labor Management & Employee Relations Alexandria, VA (Mark Center)

Are you a seasoned Labor Relations professional who has sat across the table from union negotiators, represented management in arbitration, and can walk in on Day 1 ready to carry a full caseload? This is that role.

We are sourcing candidates through a non-competitive appointment pathway for an immediate critical fill. Apply using Easy Apply, resumes will be screened by our talent acquisition team and referred directly to the hiring manager. Screening closes this week. Referrals go out next week.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a senior individual contributor role within the Labor Management & Employee Relations (LMER) Division, supporting the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW), Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA), and organizations serviced by Washington Headquarters Services. You will serve as a technical expert on the full spectrum of labor and employee relations matters under Title 5 and Title 10.

Core responsibilities include representing agency management before arbitration hearings and unfair labor practice (ULP) proceedings, serving as a member of management negotiating teams and developing proposals and counterproposals at the bargaining table, advising senior leaders on grievances, adverse and disciplinary actions, representing the agency before FSIP, FMCS, FLRA, MSPB, and OSC, and managing a complex caseload spanning multiple bargaining units covering administrative, technical, law enforcement, trade, and custodial forces.

This is not an entry-level ER/LR role. You will own the most sensitive and precedent-setting cases in the division.

What We're Looking For

  • Federal labor relations experience under Title 5 and/or Title 10
  • Collective bargaining — you have been at the table developing and negotiating management proposals

  • Unfair labor practice (ULP) charge response and proceedings
  • Advising management on adverse actions, grievances, and MSPB appeals
  • DoD or DoW organizational experience strongly preferred

Preferred:

  • Experience in a multi-bargaining-unit environment
  • Familiarity with FSIP and FMCS proceedings

  • Schedule A (disability appointment)

  • Tenured federal employee (reinstatement eligible)
