The Pacific Southwest Region Fire, Fuels and Aviation Management is recruiting for three permanent, fulltime GS-2181-12 Airplane/Helicopter Pilot positions. Two of the positions will be located in Lancaster, CA, and the third position will be located in Redding, CA. These are exciting opportunities and will provide a challenging and rewarding experience on one of the largest fire management training programs in the nation. The purpose of this notice is to determine if there are interested and qualified individuals.
Position Information: This position is in Fire and Aviation Management (FAM) with the primary responsibility of flying as Pilot-in-Command of US Forest Service tactical aircraft. Although based at multiple locations in California, tactical aircraft are a national resource and are often dispatched to incidents outside of Region 5 (California). Currently, Region 5 uses the Twin Commander 690A and Bell 209 ?Cobra? in the Leadplane and Aerial Supervision Module (ASM) role and the C23A Sherpa as a smokejumper platform. The selected applicant may be cross trained in DHC6 Twin Otter, Turbine DC-3, Beechcraft King Air and other aircraft operated by the USFS as the need arises. Potential applicants should be aware that this position may require extensive travel annually due to multiple fire assignments, each lasting up to 21 days. Initial hires can expect extensive travel during the first two to three years to meet training requirements.
A Commercial Pilot Certificate with airplane single-engine land, airplane multi-engine land, and rotorcraft-helicopter, instrument-airplane, and instrument-helicopter ratings is required for this position. Total flight experience will be in accordance with the Office of Personnel Management Qualification Standard for GS-2181-12 for dual qualified pilots and Forest Service Handbook 5709.16 Chapter 10, paragraphs 12.1d and 12.12a.
Additional Experience Desired: Previous training and experience in state or federal interagency wildland firefighting operations - CFI, CFII ratings or military equivalent in airplanes and helicopters - Experience with Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) sensors, Night Vision Goggles (NVG), and helicopter external load operations.
If you are interested in one of these opportunities, please contact [email protected] to request the outreach reply form for these positions.
