Full-Time Job Opportunity
The Department of State is developing a rankorder list of eligible hires to fill a limited number
of Foreign Service General Services Officer
vacancies. The specific number to be hired will
depend on the needs of the Foreign Service.
General Services Officers serve at U.S.
embassies and consulates worldwide. Candidates
must agree not only to serve at any U.S.
diplomatic or consulate post abroad, but also at
the Department of State in Washington, D.C., in
New York at the United States Mission to the
United Nations, and at the Florida Regional
Service Center in Ft. Lauderdale, according to
the needs of the Foreign Service.
Upon entry into the Foreign Service, and after
completion of formal training, usually in the
Washington, D.C., area, General Services
Officers will normally be assigned overseas. Both
the first and second overseas assignments,
which are directed, will be two years in length.
Subsequent assignments will be made through
an open process based on the needs of the
Foreign Service, career development
requirements and individual preferences, and will
normally be either two or three years in length.

The Foreign Service is more than a job - it's a career. As a member of a
diplomatic team, you will not only help to accomplish the mission of the
Department of State, but also represent your country to the people of other
nations. A Foreign Service career involves uncommon commitments and
occasional hardships, as well as unique rewards and opportunities. A
decision to enter this career should be based on extraordinary motivation
and a firm dedication to public service.
Many overseas posts are in small or remote countries where harsh climates,
health hazards and other discomforts exist and where American-style
amenities and the latest in technological advances often are unavailable.
Personal security frequently becomes an area of concern in countries where
there is political unrest or terrorist activity. However, careers in the Foreign
Service offer special rewards, including the pride and satisfaction of
representing the United States and protecting U.S. interests abroad.
Major Duties
Foreign Service General Services Officers (GSOs) serve at many of the
approximately 265 Foreign Service posts throughout the world, at
Department of State locations in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area;
in New York at the United States Mission to the United Nations; and at the
Florida Regional Center in Ft. Lauderdale. Primary responsibilities include
the management of physical resources and logistical functions at United
States embassies and consulates, and service to other U.S. Government
agencies. GSOs are responsible for the overall management of acquisition
and supply chain operations (or some portion of these operations), the
supervision of the subordinate staff, and the actual performance of some or
all of the following functions. The GSO normally works under the direction of
the Management Officer/Counselor and is a service provider to the
International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS) Council
at post.
GSOs are responsible for:
1. Contracting - conducts procurement planning, manages contracts,
develops acquisition documents, coordinates contracting at post, and
coordinates contracting with the State Department in Washington.
2. Procurement & supply chain, including warehouse and inventory
management - monitors support services standards, identifies procurement
support needs, prepares budgets, manages procurement of supplies,

3. Warehouse, property & space management - develops and manages real
property requirements, negotiates leases (commercial and residential),
manages property utilization policies, coordinates property with others,
accounts for properties, and manages maintenance.
4. Travel & transportation - manages travel and transportation
requirements and programs, serves as transportation liaison, and manages
vehicle fleets/motor pool.
5. Customs & clearances - obtains clearances, informs others about importexport regulations, and serves as customs liaison.
6. Supervision of staff - supervises and manages American direct hire
personnel and locally employed staff, encourages staff training, and ensures
Equal Employment Opportunity rules are followed.
