Field Examiners

NLRB field examiners often provide the public its first exposure to the National Labor Relations Board. Working in our regional offices, field examiners administer and enforce the primary labor laws of the United States. Field examiners work directly with employees, unions, and employers who have filed charges alleging unfair labor practices. They investigate these charges and recommend appropriate actions or remedies. In addition, they may conduct representation elections and act as hearing officers in disputed representation cases. Field examiners are competitive service positions. Openings are advertised exclusively through vacancy announcements on USAJobs.gov; please do not apply for a position as a Field Examiner directly to a Field Office or to the NLRB hiring email address.
