Who May Apply: Only applicants who meet one of the employment authority categories below are eligible to apply for this job. You will be asked to identify which category or categories you meet, and to provide documents which prove you meet the category or categories you selected. See Proof of Eligibility for an extensive list of document requirements for all employment authorities.
In order to qualify, you must meet the education and/or experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document.
Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience includes demonstrated experience: respond to fire alarms for all classes of fires, including those involving radioactive and/or hazardous materials, medical emergencies, rescue operations, wild land fires, hazardous material incidents, and aircraft emergencies; respond to accidents and other emergencies involving injuries and illnesses; and conduct complete examinations of patients to determine their conditions and the appropriate treatments. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-08). Because there is no position in the normal line of progression in the organization that is one grade lower than the position being filled, one year of specialized experience at the second lower grade level (GS-07) is creditable for in-service applicants. External applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-08).
In addition to meeting the specialized experience requirement above, applicants must also possess: DoD Firefighter II, DoD HAZMAT Operations, certified through DoD Fire and Emergency Services Certification System, DOD Driver/Operator Pumper AND Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certificate's and Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic (EMT-P) Certification Card indicating a future expiration date.
