Job description

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.

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.

We are hiring many Athletic Trainers across the country and are open to relocation assistance; however this specific posting is on‑site at Ft. Lee.

We are currently NOT offering Sponsorship. No H‑1B, O‑1, E‑3, EAD, TN or any related sponsorships.

Responsibilities

• Work collaboratively with a diverse team that may include physical therapists, strength and conditioning coaches, dietitians, cognitive performance experts, and occupational therapists.
• Contribute to soldier readiness by delivering prevention‑focused care, acute injury management, and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injuries.
• 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.

Must‑Haves

• Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship.
• Degree: Bachelor's Degree.
  • Education:
    • Graduate from a college or university accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).
    • Passing score from the BOC for the Athletic Trainer.
    • National Provider Identifier (NPI).
• Certification:
  • Unrestricted state license/registration/certification in any of the 49 regulated states, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands to provide health care within the scope of practice for Athletic Trainers per state practice acts.
  • Athletic trainers will be required to obtain in‑state licensure as part of the onboarding process.
• Experience:
  • Two years of relevant Athletic Training work experience within the last three years.
  • Experience working with active populations (e.g., military, high school, collegiate, professional sports, performing arts, occupational health).
• Credentialing:
  • Ability to pass background check and drug screen.
  • Current physical and immunizations.

Physical Demands

The role is dynamic and on‑site, requiring adaptability in a fast‑paced and multifaceted environment. Duties and priorities may shift throughout the workday, and interaction with soldiers during training or recovery is hands‑on and proactive. Must be able to lift up to 45 pounds and spend time on feet, in the elements, while carrying supplies.

Benefits

• GeekSI covers 100 percent employer contribution towards health insurance premiums for employees and 50 percent for dependents.
• 4% 401k Match
• Training Reimbursements
• Paid sick and vacation
• And much more!
