A selectee receiving a first appointment to the Federal Government (Civil Service) is entitled only to the lowest step of the grade for which selected. The display of a salary range on this vacancy shall not be construed as granting an entitlement to a higher rate of pay.

A Recruitment Incentive May Be Authorized for a newly selected employee when appointed to a permanent, temporary, or term position. A Federal employee who is transferring to the National Park Service from another component, bureau or Federal agency and who does not meet the conditions under 5 CFR 575.102 is not eligible for a recruitment incentive.

A Relocation Incentive May Be Authorized for a Federal employee when the employee must move, as directed by the National Park Service (NPS) either through a management directed reassignment or selection for employment, to a different location at least 50 miles away from the one where his/her position of record held at time of selection is currently located, due to a need of the NPS. A relocation incentive is not the same as a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move and, as such, may be granted in conjunction with one another.

Physical Demands: The incumbent makes installations from ladders, scaffolds, and platforms where frequently parts of the systems are in cramped places. This requires standing, bending, stooping, kneeling, climbing, and working in tiring and cramped positions. Frequently lifts and carries up to 50 pounds and occasionally over 50 pounds. This work includes but is not limited to installing or replacing deep cycle batteries for solar systems; generators in remote areas using hoists and bars; boiler components in basements; motors and fan coil components in lofts and attics and aerators and other large equipment from sewage treatment ponds and facilities. The incumbent will be required to work in cramped areas such as attics, crawl spaces and ventilation shafts which require crawling to install, troubleshoot or repair electrical components. The incumbent may be exposed to electrical shock, spark and arc hazard, and health hazards in sewer treatment plants.

Working Conditions: Work is performed in all weather and at remote locations at Denali National Park and Preserve
with physical access to the work locations requiring entry of confined spaces, attics, basements,
crawl spaces, working from elevated platforms, aerial lifts, or other structures and spaces. Often
works inside in dusty, dirty arid occasionally greasy locations where there is a possibility of cuts
and bruises.

Travel, transportation, and relocation expenses will be paid if the person selected for the position is from outside the local commuting area and is otherwise eligible for reimbursement of relocation expenses under the Federal Travel Regulations.

Employer paid and reimbursed relocation expenses are considered taxable income. The NPS does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice. Employees should consult professional tax, legal and accounting advisors regarding concerns about the financial implications of a Permanent Change of Station (PCS).

Alaska currently does not have a state income tax.
