information about the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers .
Civilian employees serve a vital role in supporting
the Army mission. They provide the skills not readily available in the
military, but crucial to support military operations. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers is an innovative, transformative organization
providing engineering solutions to customers worldwide. Working at the
Corps as a civilian employee means making a direct contribution to war
fighters and their families; supporting overseas contingency operations;
developing technology and systems that save the lives of soldiers and
civilians; providing disaster relief; and protecting and enhancing the
environment and the national economy.
About the Position:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has maintained Charleston Harbor for more than 130 years and has dredged it every year during that time to ensure the channel is at the required federal project depth, removing 2-3 million cubic yards of maintenance material from the harbor floor each year. Currently, the Charleston District is in the process of conducting a feasibility study for deepening Charleston Harbor, known as the Post 45 project. The district will determine if it is both economically beneficial and environmentally acceptable to the nation to deepen the harbor in preparation of the new Post-Panamax ships being built around the world.
The Charleston District operates the St Stephens’s Powerhouse, producing 84 megawatts of power – enough to supply the energy needs for 30,000 homes. As part of this project, the Charleston District designed and constructed the state of South Carolina’s only fish lift, which provides safe passage for fish migrating upstream to spawn.
The Charleston District also provides a variety of services through regulatory permits, civil works, military construction and international and interagency support. Beyond these duties, the Charleston District stands ready to respond to natural disasters and deploys several employees each year in support of Overseas Contingency Operations in Afghanistan.
