The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (OREM) is seeking Fellows to engage in projects and activities related to DOE-OREM Legacy Clean‑up Missions at East Tennessee Technology Park, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Y‑12 National Security Complex sites. EM’s first priority is to ensure the safety and health of the public and EM’s workforce while continuing to protect the environment.

OREM carries out the mission using sound business practices, innovative management approaches, and science and technology to reduce risks and costs within the EM regulatory framework.

The Fellow will receive training, coaching, and mentoring from the OREM Planning and Execution Division branch chiefs and project managers to effectively accomplish appointment goals.
