We help agencies strengthen governance, sustain regulatory compliance, and translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insight for mission-critical decisions.

About the Role

The Data Technician I performs the high-volume routine data work supporting the Defense Health Agency Disability Evaluation System (DES) program — extract preparation, list cleaning and deduplication, deliverability correction, error register data entry, separation-date verification support, and report assembly and formatting — executed against written standard operating procedures so that analyst hours remain available for analysis.

What You'll Do

• Prepare data extracts from designated source systems following documented procedures, recording the pull date and parameters.
• Clean and deduplicate lists, applying written rules for matching, merging, and exclusion.
• Research and correct undeliverable contact records and return findings to the error register.
• Enter items into the error register accurately and completely, including control number, source, and status.
• Support separation-date verification by pulling and comparing records against personnel sources and flagging discrepancies.
• Assemble and format recurring reports to the established template so products reach review ready for content checking rather than cleanup.

• Equivalent combination of relevant experience and education may be considered in lieu of a degree.

Experience

• Entry-level position; no minimum years of experience required.
• Experience with data entry into a tracking log, register, or database.

• Prior federal or Department of Defense program support experience is beneficial.

• Microsoft Access is beneficial.

Soft Skills

• Demonstrated accuracy on high-volume repetitive work performed against written procedure.
• Strong attention to detail and consistency.
• Ability to follow written standard operating procedures without deviation.
• Willingness to escalate discrepancies rather than resolve them by assumption.
