The best way to view current job openings at Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance Center (SRF-JRMC), Yokosuka, SRF-JRMC Detachment Sasebo, and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) Detachment Yokosuka in USAJOBS is to have the actual Vacancy Announcement number. These can be obtained from this website, the SRF-JRMC Facebook page, or by requesting e-mail notification at jobs@srf.navy.mil.
USAJOBS.gov offers you a variety of ways to search the database of current job openings. The easiest way to look through this database is to perform a broad keyword search, and then refine your results according to your preferences.
No matter how you search, you can refine your results in a variety of ways. Once you have determined your work priorities, you will likely have very specific preferences in mind. Refine your search using that criteria through the “refine your results” box or through the “advanced search” feature.
A normal “Search” for Jobs in Japan should include the following:
Location:
Yokosuka, Japan AND Yokosuka Naval base, Japan
Sasebo, Japan AND Sasebo Naval base, Japan
(Note that using Yokohama, Japan will also yield results for Yokosuka
Agency)
Department of Defense, Department of the Navy
Relocation Authorized:

Grade:

And, the most important part: Check “Federal Employees.” Typically, SRF-JRMC and PSNS Det jobs are not available to ALL US CITIZENS. The typical area of consideration for SRF-JRMC and PSNS&IMF Det job openings is current Department of Navy (DoN) employees, reinstatement eligible former DoN employees, and veterans worldwide. You will not see these vacancy announcements unless you check “Federal Employees”.
Go to the Go Government website to learn how to refine your search results:
