Property Management Specialist

If you’ve never heard of Industrial Management, it’s about time you did.

The name tells you a lot about the work. What we do is manage the use of U.S. government property by Department of Defense contractors. Let’s say a DoD contractor needs access to equipment the government can provide. As an Industrial Property Management Specialist, you’d be responsible for oversight and control of that equipment.

Apply NowIPM Specialists manage thousands of items. Some are sophisticated testing devices, put in place at a contractor’s facility to see that a component meets the standards laid down by a contract. Or it might be a component that’s part of a larger system–a prototype GPS from one contractor incorporated into another’s new vehicle. It might even be something of a sensitive nature, such as a highly classified component.

As an IPM Specialist, you work primarily for the government. But you also play a key role in helping contractors meet their commitments. By bringing both sides together, you’re a crucial part of what it takes to get the best equipment to our war fighters.

What Some DCMA Property Management
Specialists Say About the Position
“Part of my job is making sure contractors get any special
equipment they need. I then have to safeguard that property,
making sure it’s properly used and returned. It’s a lot of
responsibility, considering how technically sophisticated and
valuable the property is.”

“You spend a lot of time at contractor sites, working with people who are testing equipment. I like not being chained to a desk.”

“There are things I can’t talk about away from work. It doesn’t
quite make me James Bond, but some of my projects involve
machines and devices whose design and performance are
classified. It sets my job apart from what most people do from nine to five.”
