Dispose of heavy/bulky bags of waste materials and maintain containers in clean, sanitary condition.

Independently keep restrooms clean, orderly, and in sanitary condition. Clean restroom fixtures consisting of toilet bowls, urinals, lavatories and service sinks with operating valves, faucets, drains, and exposed pipes; electric hand dryers; dispensers for soap, towels, toilet tissue, and sanitary napkins, refuse receptacles; and toilet partitions including their doors.

Transportation to the 3 separated facilities is most often by means of walking, during varying climates.

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