Scope of contract

Infrastructure Operations and Engineering (IO&E)is a domain within IO, focused on delivering comprehensive engineering and optimization support to operational environments. These services underpin mission-critical systems such as electronic health records, claims processing, benefits administration, cybersecurity, and enterprise-wide communications.

program Description

The functionality of IO&E plays a critical role in enhancing the performance, efficiency, and reliability of infrastructure services by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies, streamlining processes, and implementing data-driven improvements. The desired outcome is a resilient, cost-effective, and scalable infrastructure that improves system availability, reduces operational costs, and enhances end-user satisfaction, ultimately supporting the delivery of high-quality services to Veterans.

What We Do

Our team keeps the VA’s nationwide data centers running 24×7×365 so Veterans get the care and benefits they depend on. We engineer, operate, monitor, and modernize the enterprise and regional data centers, telecom spaces, and secure network connections behind every claim, prescription, appointment, and benefits payment. Our engineers design and optimize compute, cabling, power, and cooling infrastructure and publish the standards that shape the VA’s next decade of growth.

Our operations teams provide continuous monitoring, rapid incident response, and on-site support for racking, cabling, and decommissioning. Our DCIM and integration teams maintain the VA’s source of truth for data center assets and reporting, while our analytics group turns raw telemetry into the refresh roadmap that prevents outages and keeps critical systems reliable.

Where You Fit

We’re hiring across all four service lines: onsite data center operations, enterprise data center and cloud engineering, DCIM platform operations and analytics, and facility infrastructure reporting and refresh planning.

Roles span site operations leadership, 24×7 watch and shift supervision, critical facilities engineering, infrastructure and network engineering, ITSM change and problem coordination, cybersecurity, automation and AIOps, electrical and mechanical SMEs, capacity and reliability engineering, commissioning, standards and documentation, DCIM administration, asset and configuration management, telemetry engineering, data modeling, analytics, lifecycle and refresh planning, construction estimating, and program coordination.

The range of openings reflects the mission’s full scope — whatever your specialty, there’s likely a place for you here.

How Is This Exciting?

This is mission work at federal enterprise scale — supporting the department that serves America’s Veterans and their families. These roles span true portfolio‑level data center engineering, operations, and analytics across a nationwide footprint. The community includes early‑career through senior SME positions, with clear advancement paths, degree substitutions for experienced candidates, and advanced‑degree credit for those who have it. The program offers long-term stability, exposure to demanding federal IT standards — ITIL v4, ISO 27001, TIA‑942, ASHRAE TC 9.9, CRISP, and NIST 800‑53/RMF — and a platform where reliability directly affects whether a Veteran gets the care or benefits they’ve earned. If you want your engineering to matter, it matters here.‍
