      Other Essential Information:

      The Savannah District is a full-service district with missions that include:

      • Two deep water ports, including the 3rd busiest container port in the nation (and fastest port in the nation)
      • Three multipurpose hydropower dams and reservoirs
      • Lots of military construction
      • Strong Regulatory Program
      • A Drill Rig Team
      • Active Formerly Used Defense Site program
      • And a GREAT Safety team of 4
      • All the above missions make for a great SOH experience. 

      But Savannah offers more than work experience. The District Office is located in the downtown historic district, known for its manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages, antebellum architecture and its popular locale for movie filming (e.g. Forrest Gump, Lady and the Tramp, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil – all filmed in Savannah). The city’s historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park are shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. There are many restaurants with multiple cuisines, all within mere blocks of the District HQ. And as a coastal city, Savannah is proximate to multiple beaches, such as Tybee Island, Jekyll Island, Hilton Head, SC, and Saint Simon’s Island. The saltwater fishing is a boon too. 

      If you can successfully lead a SOH team and want a great experience, apply!
