2008 HIRING
SEASONAL HELITACK CREWMEMBERS
To be considered for employment as a Musselshell Helitack Crewmember* you must fill out an application on the AVUE Digital Services website. You will need to register with AVUE if you have not done so already. Apply for one or both of the following announcements:
DE-OCR-0462-4-HLTK for GS-4
or
DE OCR-0462-5-HLTK for GS-5
You MUST also list Pierce, ID for the 'duty location'.
Applicants should have their application completed and submitted in AVUE by Feb 6th in order to be considered in the first round of hiring. Depending on the results of that initial round, there may be a 2nd round of hiring around March 15th. Students can apply through
the STEP program by mailing the STEP application form, a copy of your transcripts, and a resume directly to us at Kooskia Ranger Station. The STEP form is available at most college career centers or contact us and we'll send you one.
*Applicants need one season of fire experience on an organized fire crew to be considered for helitack positions.
Musselshell Helitack seeks self-disciplined and physically fit individuals to be members of our organization. Crewmembers also need to be responsible, trustworthy, and “team players”. Wildland firefighting is physically demanding and requires that crewmembers show up at the beginning of the season in a high level of fitness. Physical fitness preparations should start 6 – 8 weeks prior to your start date.
Hiring is done through the AVUE process. Jobs are announced on the AVUE Digital Services website, as well as the USAJobs website. The hiring process usually starts in January and can continue into Spring, depending on employee turnover. It is always helpful to contact us to show interest in being a part of Musselshell Helitack.
