Behind the scenes of the cutting-edge medical care we offer at VA are thousands of environmental service (EVS) technicians and housekeeping aides who keep our medical centers and outpatient clinics clean and safe for Veterans.
These support services jobs are often working behind the scenes, but are vital to maintain the integrity of clean, safe care at VA.
For environmental service technicians, “clean” and “safe” are a way of life. They address spills quickly, discard trash, install light bulbs in halls and rooms, and vacuum and scrub floors.
While our clinical care teams are keeping Veterans healthy, environmental service technicians keep facilities healthy. Through their work, they maintain and promote a safe environment for Veterans.
We are actively looking to fill numerous positions across the nation with quality employees who are invested in doing their part to help Veterans. With more than 1,300 facilities to maintain, the work of EVS technicians is never done, and we need your help to make sure Veterans get the care they deserve.
