The Green Mountain National Forest is currently recruiting for seasonal crew member positions in the Fisheries & Wildlife program.

Positions begin in late April/ early May and generally run to mid-November, dependent on budget constraints. The work includes but is not limited to; stocking salmon fry, management Indicator species surveys, stream habitat surveys, participating in prescribed fires, apple tree release, fisheries population surveys, and stream habitat improvement projects.

The work requires some physical exertion, such as regular and recurring running, walking, or bending, walking or climbing ladders or scaffolds to observe, collect, or record research data. In many situations the duration of the activity (most of a work day) contributes to the arduous nature of the job.
 
The work also involves regular and recurring moderate risks or discomforts which require special safety precautions, e.g., working around moving parts, heavy equipment, or machines; for some positions the work may, on a regular and recurring basis, require working outdoors, in other such environments with extreme temperatures, and/or exposure to adverse weather conditions. Employees are required to use protective clothing or gear such as hard hats, masks, gowns, earplugs, coats, boots, goggles, gloves, or shields to moderate risks, or to follow procedures for minimizing risk.

We anticipate filling Biological Technician positions at the GS-4 and/or GS-5 levels on both the Rochester and Manchester Ranger Districts with Government housing likely to be available on the Manchester Ranger District. (also see 101on Applying for Temporary and STEP Jobs.doc)
