Vacancy Closed

Agency Marketing Statement:

Notes:

• This is a continuously open recruitment bulletin for multiple locations throughout the Forest Service.
  There may still be some individual announcements advertised at various locations in this series, grade, and specialty if specific experience not contained in this announcement is required. These announcements will be posted at the USAJOBS www.usajobs.opm.gov and ADS www.avuedigitalservices.com/usfs/applicant.html websites.
  The closing date will be dependent on USDA Forest Service needs (e.g., budget, length of season, etc.) Individual units will issue Referral Lists to selecting officials throughout the life of this recruitment bulletin.
  The number and location of positions to be filled will be dependent upon individual unit needs. Availability of government housing, federal day care facilities, and bargaining unit status will vary by location. Pay rates vary depending on location. See the OPM website at www.opm.gov for additional information on pay rates.
  Applicants may choose up to nine (9) different location codes. To give applicants an idea of positions filled previously and to assist applicants in selecting locations, a listing was created to view on our website www.fs.fed.us/fsjobs. When there are no applicants for locations, the search area will be broadened when generating referral lists to include locations in the closest city nearby. To obtain more information about the USDA Forest Service and individual locations, go to www.fs.fed.us (a search can be done by State or by Name). We encourage applicants to contact supervisors at the chosen locations for specific information.
  For hard copy applicants, locations and their codes will be listed in the application package to assist applicants when completing the bubbledot form.
  These are temporary positions with varying tours of duty (work schedule) and may include weekend work. Some positions may have irregular and protracted hours of work. Tours of duty include full-time or less than full-time. Considerable travel may be required.
  Applicants must be at least 18 years of age to be employed in a hazardous position.
  A work registration update will be required to maintain an active available applicant pool. An eligible applicant, who does not communicate his/her continued interest in employment within the prescribed period, will be placed in inactive status. On-line applicants will receive notification via e-mail reminding them to update their availability. Hard copy applicants will receive information with their initial application packet.
  Some positions have employment conditions such as: a valid State drivers license; a commercial drivers license (CDL); pre-appointment and random drug testing; or a physical or ¿medical¿ examination. Applicants will be notified of any specific requirements at the time a tentative job offer is made.
  All Forests in Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Northern Idaho, Wyoming, and North and South Dakota will be participating in a pilot Medical Standards Program for arduous positions. An initial pre-employment medical examination is required. As additional States prepare for Medical Standards implementation, medical exams will be required. Failure to meet any of the required medical qualifications will be considered disqualifying for employment.
