Wildland Fire Management
8 open positions in this category
The 0456 Wildland Fire Management series was created to give federal wildland firefighters an occupational series of their own instead of forestry and range technician classifications. It covers firefighters from entry level to the supervisors who run fire programs, dispatch centers and specialized units such as smokejumpers, plus the analysts and GIS specialists who support fire operations. The listings here are posted by the Office of the Secretary of the Interior.
Recent listings have included a supervisory wildland firefighter smokejumper and a fire operations analyst, both under direct hire authority, a fire dispatch center manager, a supervisory wildland firefighter serving as a senior advisor, a fire program supervisor and a wildland fire GIS specialist.
Applying tip: operational positions require current Incident Qualification Card qualifications under the National Wildfire Coordinating Group system and the fitness test for the duty level, and announcements list the specific qualifications you must already hold; the analyst and GIS positions are where telework is realistic. Our federal resume guide covers presenting technical experience.
