THIS IS A TEMPORARY APPOINTMENT NOT TO EXCEED 1039 HOURS.
The typical seasonal entry-on-duty period is March thru October but can be variable during these months due to weather conditions, project needs, or funding. Anticipated Entry on Duty: As soon as possible
MAJOR DUITES:
Incumbent on a regular and recurring basis, operates farm type tractors and towed or attached equipment on steep hills or in rough terrain where there is a significant danger of overturning the tractor or equipment. Some examples of the type of work performed include:
There is no substitution of education for experience for Wage Grade (WG) positions.
Non-Competitive Rehire Eligibility: Temporary seasonal employees can only maintain their non-competitive rehire eligibility if they work no more than a combined total of Temporary NTE less than 1040 hours anywhere in the National Park Service (NPS) within their established service year. Accordingly, non-competitive rehire eligibility allows for re-appointment to the same position or another position appropriate for temporary appointment with the same qualification requirements (5 CFR 316.402[b][7]), based on series and grade, anywhere in the major subdivision (NPS).
If you have held a temporary seasonal appointment in the past 12 months and have already worked the maximum temporary appointment less than 1040 hours during that period, you are still welcome to apply. However, please be aware that exceeding the limit of 1040 hours in your established service year will result in the loss of your non-competitive rehire eligibility.
The limit can be exceeded by working multiple temporary seasonal positions that result in a combined total greater than 1040 hours. The limit also can be exceeded by working a single temporary seasonal appointment that exceeds 1040 hours, unless granted an exception by OPM.
Employment may be terminated at any time due to fluctuations in funding levels, project needs, employee performance, or other considerations.
Physical Demands: Incumbent operates tractors in all types of terrain (steep and level) and along roadways. Incumbent must be able to do heavy to strenuous lifting (50 pounds), stooping, bending, climbing and working in cramped positions. The incumbent frequently operates towed or attached equipment from the seat of the tractor through hydraulic or mechanical controls. Grade 6 tractor operators exert additional effort in operating equipment controls, making more frequent arm and leg movements.
Working Conditions: Work location is outside, potentially in extreme temperatures. Incumbent must be capable of sustained physical effort under these conditions. Dirt, dust and marginal ranges of air pollution are present. Operators at the grade 6 level primarily work outside and are exposed to all kinds of weather conditions. Some operators are exposed to chemical dust and sprays and may need to wear protective clothing and respirators.
