Position Summary

Maintain subcontract participation and local workforce opportunity registers; work with Turtle Mountain, Missouri communities and partners to source qualified applicants and training. Verify actual commitments, placements and reporting without promising roles outside approved contracts.

What You Will Do

  • Translate the approved small-business participation plan into a scope, firm, category, value and status register.
  • Coordinate recruitment outreach with Turtle Mountain, local Missouri programs, trade schools, apprenticeships and veterans organizations.
  • Track candidate source, qualifications, interview decisions, offers and placements without using protected information as a hiring shortcut.
  • Validate subcontractor utilization evidence and work with procurement to surface genuine small-business packages.
  • Report workforce and supplier participation to ERP management and identify missed commitments early.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Six years recruiting, workforce development or supplier diversity on major construction or federal programs; strong data and partner coordination.
  • Major-project workforce outreach or subcontract participation reporting experience.
  • Ability to verify records and coordinate with partner employers without promising their offers.
  • Ability to meet the applicable installation access, safety, information-handling, and assignment requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Federal small-business program experience.
  • Tribal workforce development, apprenticeship or Missouri trade network relationships.
  • Relevant military, Tribal, apprenticeship, or nontraditional experience that demonstrates equivalent capability where the role permits it.

What Success Looks Like

Documented outreach, qualified candidate pipelines, and supportable participation reports.

Field, Travel and Employment Conditions

  • Work at an operating industrial installation may involve outdoor weather, uneven ground, stairs or ladders, construction noise, PPE, and coordination around ongoing plant operations. The actual essential functions will be reviewed for the assigned role.
  • Project needs may include scheduled outages, factory testing, startup travel, or occasional weekend and alternate-shift work, subject to employer policies and approved site plans.
  • Final assignment follows approved work packages, qualifications, installation access, and project authorization. Personnel who handle FCI/CUI must use only approved systems and procedures.
  • ERP will provide the approved compensation range, benefits, and any travel terms through its normal hiring process. The internal CSS compensation category is not a promise of a particular rate.
  • ERP welcomes qualified Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians members, local Missouri candidates, veterans, military spouses, people with disabilities, and applicants from all backgrounds. Hiring decisions follow applicable law and the requirements of the actual employer.

Application Materials

  • Resume with month/year dates, employers, responsibilities, and relevant project types.
  • Current licenses, training, trade qualifications, or certifications needed for the assigned work, with expiration dates if applicable.
  • A concise example of comparable work, availability to work in Independence, and earliest possible start after NTP. References may be requested later.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
