Working Conditions:
The duties of this position are performed in a radio repair shop environment and outdoors. Shop duties require sitting for long periods of time while performing testing and repair of equipment; use of various chemicals that produce fumes, odors or vapors; and use of various power tools such as electric drills, saws etc. that present the possibility of electrical shock hazards and other physical safety concerns.
Outdoor work requires long distance travel to remote sites via state service vehicle, 4 x 4, snowmobile, helicopter, fixed wing aircraft or on foot. Travel to remote sites presents physically hazardous conditions as travel often occurs in mountainous terrain on unimproved roads or during adverse weather conditions. The requirement to climb towers, buildings or other antenna support structures and installing antennas on towers or roof tops presents physical hazards such as falling, exposure to high voltage electrical shock from local power lines, and shock or burns from RF Contact Currents and lightning. The use of high capacity batteries presents the possibility of shock from direct current (DC) arcs and the exposure to chemicals and fumes. The incumbent may be exposed to RF radiation that may exceed OSHA’s maximum permissible exposure (MPE) levels. Exposure to excessive radio frequency energy emissions or physical contact with exposed transmitter connections or components could cause RF burns or other severe physical trauma.
Installation of radios, antennas and other equipment involves bending, stooping, crouching, maneuvering and lifting equipment in confined spaces e.g., under vehicle dash boards, in trunks etc. for extended periods of time, and carrying heavy radio and test equipment ranging from moderate weight to in excess of 100 lbs. to sites. Radio equipment is often housed in Fire Lookouts or other small, enclosed structures in mountainous terrain that presents possible exposure to diseases or viruses associated with rodents. The technician often works alone at remote sites, which requires acute awareness of hazards and safety procedures.
The performance of technical duties in the wildland fire environment presents various physical hazards such as direct exposure to heat and smoke, travel in mountainous terrain or other hazardous conditions via vehicle or small aircraft. The technician must also travel long distances with communications command trailer in tow, to fire locations and be housed in primitive base camp conditions for long periods of time, often times sleeping in tents, which can produce physical stress or fatigue. A standard dispatch is 14 to 21 days.
SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States. A valid driver's license is required with less than 12 conviction points in the most recent completed 36 months.
ELIGIBILITY TO WORK:
In accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the person selected must produce within three days of hire documents that show authorization to work in the United States. Examples of such documentation include a birth certificate or Social Security card along with a driver’s license or other picture I.D., or a U.S. passport, or a "green card".
