The VFW has cold beer and pool tables. Right next door is the 
Hill Top House which has really good food, make sure to try the home-made desserts.

Just did an interview........SR. RCT..........What is it like?

[halflifer]

who's doing the hiring down there?

[alphadude]

its all long term stuff and a there is not a big turn over.

[RAD-GHOST]

There may not be a lot of openings, but there sure seems to be a lot of interviewing going on!

[halflifer]

....uuuhhhh, right.
but with who?

[alphadude]

its like any other DOE onion.. lots of layers... i think most RCT jobs are with local companies. I know eberline is going to hire a few.

[RAD-GHOST]

Give Big Blue a Jingle.

[halflifer]

i did. they have a couple of people down there doing a characterization. DeNuike just put a few people in and ComForce has placed some recently too.

Announced last week in a local paper in Bezerkly, seems to be fact today.  Things are gonna change big time.

[Rennhack]

A new lab contractor won't be announced until Dec. 1.

Appears to be only rumor at this point.

[alphadude]

good rumor

[feathersmoke]

The anticipated award date is 12/1/05.  Nothing has been awarded as of yet.

[Rennhack]

good rumor

If it isn't a fact, and people know it to be untrue, it is not a "good" rumor.  It is disinformation, and we try not to dis-inform our readers.

[alphadude]

somethin' must be up, Lockheed staff members were in LANL training this week. Didnt see any Bechtel or WGI there. hmmmmm

[paula]

Thinking of transferring to Carlsbad, NM.  Anyone work in that area?  If so, what's it like?

[UncaBuffalo]

Anyone know what LANL is like for a contractor these days? I asked some techs who had been there a few years back and they said you weren't allowed to do any work until you got a clearance...is that still the case?

I would like an excuse to hang out in that area for a few months. One of the contract companies told me "Term can be as short or long as you wish."  But...only want to take a job if they are going to keep me busy.

Thank you!

[Mounder]

I don't know, but I'd bet "probably".   I see the Environmental Management jobs under NB3 are still asking for a Q.   Not good.

[Rennhack]

Sometimes they will give you an escort.  Thats what they did when I was there a hundred years ago.

[fiveeleven]

Thats a while ago.

[UncaBuffalo]

Excerpted from a PM:

...at the waste facilities at Los Alamos...a contractor that has been working here for 7 years uncleared. Every part of the lab is different. No clearance needed at the waste facilities. ...

[stewdill]

It depends on where you are assigned. Some places require you to have a Q some do not. Most anything involving 55, CMR, Sigma, SM 39, or anything that is classified requires a Q. There is a few areas that do not require a Q but they are few.
