With all the government folks being relocated to the area as part of the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closing) deal, one question that I am frequently asked is – where does one find information on jobs – it’s not like the DIA, CIA, NSA, etc have the most open facilities around. The National Grounds Intelligence Center (NGIC) is going to provide quite a few jobs over the next several years; being aware of their impact is going to be crucial.
I emailed a client in that part of the Charlottesville world to find out more; this is part of his response -
“Great question. Unfortunately, there really isn’t any one-stop shopping for .gov/contracting jobs in this area (niche to be filled?). All of the big players are down here:
SAIC (ed note: I really like their solar community!)
Lockheed
Booz Allen
General Dynamics
Northrop
Pragmatics
Sparta
CACI
The best suggestion I’ve got it to hit their websites.
Theres a few one there as well. Does his current company have work in the area?
Neon Guild
The venerable craigslist.
If he’s really desperate, he could come up to Research Park and just hand out resumes…”

Thanks so much for the comment.
I work for DIA, and our office may be moving to the JUIAF in Charlottesville … while I’m not against moving down (and taking advantage of some of the benefits offered through the DoD and their PCS program), the one concern I have is finding a job in this tough market for my girlfriend.

Thanks for the comment. Yours is a common concern. I would be happy to help you in any way possible. What field is your girlfriend in?
Please feel free to contact me offline.
My wife and I have seven budgerigars (parakeets). Good Avian vets are hard to find. There is one near Charlottesville.
Also, my travel requirements necessitate our being somewhat near a transportation hub (e.g. Richmond).
Is there a secure community of mostly middle-age people, perhaps oriented towards self-sufficiency/sustainability in the area?
Thank you.
