Job Description

GeekSI is seeking candidates matching our corporate culture. A candidate must be passionate about their craft and think a little differently than the average employee. After joining the Geek Team, they will inherently contribute to GeekSI's reputation of providing the best, most innovative resources in the industry. GeekSI forges trust through integrity and hard work, delivering outstanding services and solutions that bring measurable value to our customers. Work hard, play hard! GeekSI is looking for a dedicated and skilled Athletic Trainer to join the U.S. Army’s rapidly expanding Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program at Ft. Lee, VA (25 miles south of Richmond, VA) .

This is more than an athletic training role. It's a chance to join the Army's largest human performance initiative — Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) — as part of an embedded, interdisciplinary team devoted to keeping Soldiers healthy, resilient, and ready. Your work supports outcomes that matter: a 23% greater increase in Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) pass rates, fewer and shorter musculoskeletal injuries, and measurable improvements in behavioral health.

Since its 2018 pilot, H2F has become one of the Army's defining readiness efforts — now fielded across roughly 50 active-duty brigades and expanding toward 111 brigades by fiscal year 2027, with the goal of reaching every Soldier across the force. For us, it's a natural continuation of the work we're proud to do: standing behind the people who serve, from active duty through veteran life.

• Engage in performance optimization strategies that address the five H2F readiness domains: physical, mental, nutritional, sleep, and spiritual.
• Support unit leaders with evidence-based strategies to reduce injuries, promote recovery, and enhance overall unit readiness.
• Leverage data and tools developed by the Center for Initial Military Training (CIMT) to track and improve performance outcomes.
• Serve as a key player in improving soldier performance, ACFT pass rates , and resilience across the force.
