Occasional trips to field locations may involve hiking short to medium distances over rough and uneven terrain, traveling over rough roads in 4-wheel drive vehicles, or low-level flying in helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.

Frequent work-related travel is required that may involve brief exposure to natural hazards, extreme temperatures, and primitive conditions. A healthy constitution is required although little physical labor is involved.

Working Conditions: Work is performed primarily in offices and meeting rooms.

There are periods of exposure to outside elements during routine park tours and attendance at numerous special events throughout the year. Work involves considerable travel within the local urban area as well as travel to other cities throughout the United States. Occasional foreign travel may also be necessary.All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-05/22/2024-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement.

Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 for each federal position listed as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of qualifying experience that you will be granted.

An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, your resume must state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience.
