Job Description

Registered Dietitian / Performance Dietitian

Location: Concord, New Hampshire
Supporting: New Hampshire National Guard

Help Service Members fuel for performance, improve health, and remain mission-ready.

Nutrition affects virtually every aspect of military performance, from body composition and physical readiness to recovery, energy, cognitive performance, and long-term health.

LMR Technical Group is seeking a  Registered Dietitian/Performance Dietitian to lead nutritional-readiness services for New Hampshire National Guard Service Members and their families.

This role goes beyond general wellness education. You will work individually with Service Members who need to meet military body-composition requirements, provide evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy and performance nutrition counseling, educate the broader force, and help military families develop practical, sustainable approaches to healthy eating.

Why this role matters

For a Service Member, meeting body-composition and fitness requirements can directly affect deployability, retention, and career progression. Sustainable improvement requires more than a short-term diet. It requires individualized nutrition strategies based on physiology, performance demands, lifestyle, family circumstances, and military requirements.

Your expertise will directly help Service Members meet standards while improving long-term health and performance.

If you are passionate about performance nutrition and want to see your expertise translate directly into measurable readiness outcomes, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact.
