• copies of course certificates (MIQC/equivalent, SOF CQB, Breacher, RSO/LRSO)

Please state which position(s) you are applying for and whether you want to be considered for the On-Site Lead role.

EEC Solutions is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

The application ask is built to give you what you’ll need for the one-page key personnel resumes and the Qualification Cross-Reference Matrix. That means documented dates for the 12/8/5-year thresholds and certificates for each required course. Watch the MIQC clause when screening DAHRTI candidates. A candidate with only an “equivalent” qualification still has to complete a 3-week course before they’re fully qualified, which is a day-one readiness risk in your transition plan.
