Job description

About the Program

Dynamic Systems Technology, Inc. (DysTech) is seeking an experienced Federal Human Resources Assistant to support the U.S. Coast Guard’s Civilian Human Resources Office. This program supports the Coast Guard’s civilian personnel‑processing workload and broader workforce‑management mission.

About the Role

Must be located in the Washington, DC area. Potential for client‑approved remote work. In this role, you will support federal personnel and pay operations by processing personnel actions, reviewing employee records, validating Service Computation Dates, and helping resolve transaction‑related issues. You will work with EmpowHR, National Finance Center systems, Official Personnel Folders, and other federal HR records to ensure workforce information is complete, accurate, and properly maintained. This is a substantive federal HR processing position rather than a general administrative role. It is well suited for an experienced HR professional who can independently code personnel actions, apply OPM processing guidance, and manage sensitive employee information with accuracy and discretion.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently code and process federal personnel actions in accordance with OPM’s Guide to Processing Personnel Actions.
• Review Official Personnel Folders and related records to validate Service Computation Dates and perform necessary calculations.
• Process transactions and Requests for Personnel Actions using EmpowHR and National Finance Center systems.
• Maintain accurate electronic and hard‑copy HR case files, records, and supporting documentation.
• Review, scan, enter, and extract personnel information for processing, reporting, and records‑management purposes.
• Research applicable HR policies, procedures, precedents, and case‑related materials.
• Coordinate with Coast Guard HR personnel to resolve personnel and pay‑processing issues.

Required Qualifications

• At least four years of experience providing federal HR support comparable to the responsibilities described above.
• Working knowledge of EmpowHR and National Finance Center systems.
• Demonstrated ability to independently code and process federal personnel actions.
• Working knowledge of OPM’s Guide to Processing Personnel Actions.
• Experience reviewing federal personnel records and maintaining accurate HR documentation.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to handle Privacy Act and security‑sensitive information responsibly.
• Ability to successfully complete Government‑required background, credentialing, and system‑access processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience reviewing Official Personnel Folders and validating Service Computation Dates.
• Experience supporting federal personnel and pay problem resolution.
• Previous HR experience supporting DHS, the Coast Guard, or another federal civilian HR organization.
• Experience processing Requests for Personnel Actions and researching federal HR policies and precedents.

Work Location and Flexibility

The primary work location is the Douglas A. Munro Coast Guard Headquarters Building in Washington, DC. The position offers potential for remote or telework flexibility when approved by the Government and appropriate for the assigned work. Remote work is not guaranteed, and certain records‑management and scanning responsibilities must be performed onsite.

Why Join DysTech?

This is an opportunity to apply specialized federal HR processing experience in direct support of the Coast Guard’s civilian workforce. Your work will help ensure personnel records, employment actions, service dates, and pay‑related transactions are processed accurately and efficiently. The position also offers a predictable weekday schedule, no required travel, and potential remote‑work flexibility.

DysTech is a federal contractor supporting Department of Defense and civilian‑agency missions through disciplined execution, responsive customer service, and a commitment to quality.

This position is contingent upon contract award, Government approval, and successful completion of all applicable employment and Government credentialing requirements.
