I changed the search terms in Usajobs to "Engineer" and "GA". I get 23 hits. Now one of the positions is a Mechanical Engineer position at Warner Robins, GA. Well, you are within a 2 hour trip to Atlanta.

Warner Robbins has a very different landscape than the Northern part of the state. That's one thing I do love about Georgia. It's very different north to south and east to west. I grew up in Savannah which is nothing like Athens and Atlanta. Warner Robbins wouldn't do it for me just like Savannah won't either, though.
You bring up good points about the search terms etc. It's why I only type engineer and put it at a 100 mile radius. I don't need to be in the metro area. Also, I have no idea what all is out there so I go broad based by just using engineer. I've also looked at some other broad based job titles.
I never knew the federal government employed the most engineers. Interesting.
