This announcement may be used to fill additional positions if identical vacancies occur within 90 days of the issue date of the referral certificate. Physical Demands: The work involves both bench work and field work. The bench work portion of the job is usually sedentary and will involve the usual amount of sitting, walking, standing, and bending associated with office type work, informal meetings, and the use of bench equipment such as computers, analyzers, and soldering stations. Bench work includes working with micro-miniature circuitry, requiring the use of magnification devices and clean, precise working practices. The field portion of the job will include driving, hiking, and carrying equipment. Thus, the employee will occasionally carry a heavy backpack (up to 50 lbs.) and hike over rough, uneven, rocky terrain or slippery surfaces at elevations from 1,000 ft. to over 10,000 ft. and in temperatures from 20F to 115F. Once arriving at work sites field work involves some physical exertion such as long periods of standing, recurring bending, crouching, stooping, stretching, reaching, and recurring lifting of moderately heavy items. Considerable and strenuous physical exertion is required to work in high elevations on antenna supporting structures up to 150 feet above the ground, and in inclement weather conditions. Work involves driving long distances in hazardous conditions, such as four-wheel drive access areas, over steep and mountainous or rough high desert terrain. The position may require flying in helicopters and boating in varying weather conditions. Work requires the operation of a motor vehicle on steep mountainous roads. Incumbent must be able to perform occasional travel assignments. Working Conditions: Office work is performed in an adequately lighted and climate-controlled office, which requires the ability to sit for extended periods of time working at a bench. The incumbent will also be exposed to radio frequency hazards, high voltages, noise, and slippery and uneven surfaces. It also includes working in voice and data equipment rooms and computer rooms. Field work includes exposure to extreme weather conditions (over 100 degrees F), steep and uneven terrain, pesticides, poisonous plants, biting insects, and wild animals. Field conditions involve the employee being exposed to noise, dust, heat, weather, and aircraft turbulence. The tower climbing work is performed under variable and unpredictable working conditions in many locations, sometimes in inclement weather and at high altitudes. Work occasionally includes travel to different sites over long distance and exposure to extreme weather conditions (i.e. rain, snow, fog). The National Park Service has determined that the duties of this position are suitable for telework only during an emergency or natural disaster.
