经过将近两年的招聘冻结后，海军设施工程司令部正在积极招募今年在美国，特别是在工程和采购老虎机中填补近3,000个职位。

NAVFAC's ability to recruit and hire has been severely hampered since 2013, when the federal government underwent sequestration and a shutdown, says Jennifer LaTorre, NAVFAC executive director.

休假和两年的流失后，处理海军和海军陆战队建设的机构在全球空缺率约为14％。她说，这些因素引起了“在整个NAVFAC企业中”进行“积极而专注的招聘工作”。“我们持续有效支持车队和战斗指挥官的关键是，我们通过专注的招聘在正确的时间将合适的人放在正确的位置的能力。”

该职位空缺分布在各种职位之间，但是需要的关键工程学科包括机械，民用，电气，结构和环境以及入门级和旅行者工艺品。在需要的命令中，NAVFAC中大西洋正在招募430个职位，主要是在弗吉尼亚州诺福克。

Tom Kreidel, a command spokesperson, says it typically has about 7% vacancies, but with the rate now at 14%, the command has had to delay several projects. Through its hiring effort, Kreidel expects the command will be able to revive projects that had been shelved due to a lack of in-house resources.

NAVFAC may be competing with other government entities for new talent. In May, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District held a job fair there with more than 200 positions on offer. Tyler Stalker, a spokesperson for the district, says the Corps is exploring "new ways to put ourselves out there and get our face in front of young engineers."
