A Career with the Forest Service
A career with the Forest Service will challenge you to manage and care for more than 193 million acres of our nation’s most magnificent lands, conduct research through a network of forest and range experiment stations and provide assistance to State and private forestry agencies. It’s an awesome responsibility – but the rewards are as limitless as the views. The Boise National Forest offers many different types of challenging and rewarding careers.
Types of Vacancies:
Permanent positions : Permanent and temporary positions currently available with the Forest Service are viewed in usajobs.gov. Hiring with the Forest Service is conducted on a national scale using a standardized application process through a web-based program called Avue central.
Temporary Employee (1039) We sometimes refer to these positions as 1039's which relates to how many base (non-overtime) hours that can be worked in a 6 month period. Some, but not all, of these positions are summer jobs. More Information.
Student Employment (STEP): To apply as a student you must meet certain criteria: be enrolled in college at least part-time, in good academic standing, with intent to return to at least part-time status fall term. More Information.
UPDATE: 4-8-2012 Federal Pathways Program Will Replace SCEP, STEP, FCIP
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is preparing to launch the Pathways Program to replace current student employment programs, including the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP).
Forest Service managers/supervisors who want to hire STEPs and/or SCEPs should work with their designated Human Resources Service Team to ensure the appropriate paperwork is submitted and job offers can be made by April 27, 2012.
HRM will continue to provide updates on the implementation of the Pathways Program.
