Their duties also include coordinating with the DOE's Human Capital team and other relevant departments to address any emerging needs promptly, whether on-site at DOE locations in Washington, DC, and Germantown, MD, or at the employee's telework location. This role requires not only technical medical skills but also a deep commitment to the well-being and success of the employees they support, ensuring that they can perform their roles without hindrance due to their disabilities.
