Job Description

As a Biometrics Technician (BT) you will be responsible for supporting the mission of a government program located at 463 Mountain View Drive, Colchester, VT 05446. This position works as a part of a dynamic team of professionals assisting the United States Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS) Application Support Center (ASC) operations. This position is an ON-CALL team member. This position will require the ability to pass a government clearance. All required job training for qualified candidates will be provided by management upon start.

Primary Responsibilities are:

1. Complete biometrics registration for applicants seeking legal immigration to the United States.
2. Ensure all who enter the ASC are approved applicants and visitors while providing both interior and exterior crowd control and assisting the staff in enforcing the rules and policies of the ASCs.

Employees are expected to be available Monday through Friday from the hours of 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. for substitute coverage as needed at the site. This is not a regular Full-Time or regular Part-Time position. All efforts are made to notify On-Call personnel in advance of the site on call needs. However, occasionally, employees are notified the night before or day of. In this position, hours are not guaranteed, and employees are on a "as-needed" basis so a steady income stream cannot be guaranteed.

• Conducting periodic facility checks (both interior and exterior) reporting any concerns to the Site Supervisor to manage.
• Assist the Site Supervisor and/or government Immigration Service Officer in calling local law enforcement or first responders when necessary.
• Manage and complete with accuracy administrative paperwork such as tracking processing time for applicants, reconciliation paperwork of biometrics captured, assisting in maintaining a visitor control log for non-applicants entering the facility, signing off on facility checks and other administrative duties as needed.
