Federal employees who meet the definition of a "surplus" or "displaced" employee.
Current or former competitive service federal employees.
Certain current or former term or temporary federal employees of a land or base management agency.
Current federal employees of this agency.
Open to current career/career conditional federal employees of the National Park Service, Land Management (LMWFA) and non-competitive NPS merit promotion.
All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-05/01/2024-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement.
Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 for each federal position listed as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of qualifying experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, your resume must state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience.
For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected.
Selective Factors: Applicants must meet ALL of the following to qualify:
Law Enforcement Commission: This position requires applicants to possess, previously held (within the past three years), or be able to obtain by close of announcement a valid Type I National Park Service (NPS) Law Enforcement Commission.
A selectee receiving a first appointment to the Federal Government (Civil Service) is entitled only to the lowest step of the grade for which selected the display of a salary range on this vacancy shall not be construed as granting an entitlement to a higher rate of pay.
A Recruitment Incentive May Be Authorized for a newly selected employee when appointed to a permanent, temporary, or term position. A Federal employee who is transferring to the National Park Service from another component, bureau or Federal agency and who does not meet the conditions under 5 CFR 575.102 is not eligible for a recruitment incentive.
A Relocation Incentive May Be Authorized for a Federal employee when the employee must move, as directed by the National Park Service (NPS) either through a management directed reassignment or selection for employment, to a different location at least 50 miles away from the one where his/her position of record held at time of selection is currently located, due to a need of the NPS. A relocation incentive is not the same as a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move and, as such, may be granted in conjunction with one another.
Physical Demands: A variety of physical demands occur in this position. Work includes long periods standing, hiking, and climbing in uneven, steep, rough, slippery and rugged terrain. Strenuous exertion is frequently required in law enforcement, firefighting, search and rescue, and emergency medical situations. Lifting or carrying equipment weighing over 50 pounds, such as search and rescue equipment, may be required. The work may include the pursuit and physical apprehension of dangerous suspects. Incumbent is required to work outside in all types of weather conditions. There may be many days of primarily sedentary work in an office, but the incumbent may be required at very short notice to participate in strenuous physical activity. There is a physical, mental, and emotional high-stress component to the incumbent's work assignments.
Working Conditions: The majority of time is spent in an office environment. However, field inspections, evaluations, consultations, and emergency situations frequently involve outdoor work. Incumbent may be subjected to extreme weather including heat, humidity, cold, snow, high winds, heavy rain, and dust. Work may be performed at various hours of the day and night for prolonged periods of time during emergency situations. The incumbent is frequently exposed to high-risk and potentially dangerous situations in law enforcement and emergency operations requiring use of a wide range of personal protective equipment and requiring adherence to specific safety procedures and other precautions.
Travel may be required in government vehicles, aircraft, including small fixed-wing and helicopters or in small watercraft.
The National Park Service has determined that the duties of this position are suitable for telework and the selectee may be allowed to telework on a situational basis with supervisor approval.
