Additional information

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.
This announcement may be used to fill additional positions if identical vacancies occur within 90 days of the issue date of the referral certificate.

Government housing maybe available.

Physical Demands: The nature of the work is primarily sedentary. Occasional bending and lifting are required during movement of materials and supply restocking. Stress from emergency situations, multiple incidents and long hours are present. During this time, intense concentration is needed to perform properly. There are frequent demands for rapid decision-making. Shift work in general is also physically demanding.

Working Conditions: Work is performed primarily in the dispatch center where control and direction must be maintained during emergency situations. Work is normally performed in a specialized office setting. Multi-channel radios are continuously monitored, and multi-line telephones constantly ring, sometimes resulting in a noisy environment. Demands by internal and external customers during peak incident loads can be demanding. Call volume spikes can create a potentially hectic and stressful work environment. Incumbent must be able to concentrate on work projects amidst the activity, interruptions, and the movements of others. Some exposure to hazards occurs in flying, inspections, and field trips presented in the job.

The National Park Service has determined that the duties of this position are suitable for telework only during an emergency or natural disaster.

Travel, transportation, and relocation expenses will be paid if the person selected for the position is from outside the local commuting area and is otherwise eligible for reimbursement of relocation expenses under the Federal Travel Regulations.

Employer paid and reimbursed relocation expenses are considered taxable income. The NPS does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice. Employees should consult professional tax, legal and accounting advisors regarding concerns about the financial implications of a Permanent Change of Station (PCS).

Alaska currently does not have a state income tax.

In the event of an accident while traveling in a government aircraft, the payable benefits of a private life insurance policy may be affected.
