If a job post shows a 1-year contract period, does that mean the job is guaranteed to last for 1 year?

- Register on the BVI Website and sign up for the mailing list. You will receive notifications whenever new RRC jobs are posted on the BVI website. Also, your contact information will be kept on file in case a manager wants to reach you.
- Apply on the RRC job openings posted on the BVI website. Tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying on. Include a cover note to express your interest and point out your key qualifications.
- Network with people you know at TVA. This is the most likely way you will find work as a contractor. Stay in contact with your former TVA colleagues and let them know you are available to assist them. This is how most jobs are filled – informally, rather than through formal job postings.
How does the hiring process work?
Once the TVA hiring manager approves an order to fill a staff augmentation position with an RRC employee, a request is sent to RRC using TVA’s Contractor Management System. RRC then contacts the candidate to further discuss the onboarding process and sends required onboarding documents.

TVA sets the pay rate. As the employer, RRC pays its employees biweekly.
What about overtime?
