It is a Military Technician job, so you must be an active Soldier in the Army Reserve. It uses Direct Hire Authority, has 1 vacancy, and requires business travel about 10% of the time.

1 vacancy, but multiple positions may be filled from this announcement

Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. You must also be an active Soldier in the U.S. Army Reserve before a start date can be set.

What you would do

  • Serve as crew chief or flight engineer
  • Inspect aircraft
  • Repair or replace rotary wing aircraft assemblies and components
  • Use tools and testing equipment to complete final adjustments
  • Troubleshoot malfunctions
  • Rig flight control systems

Do you qualify for WG-10?

With experience: There is no set length of experience required. You must show you can do the work without more than normal supervision, such as maintaining and repairing rotary wing aircraft, changing oil and hydraulic pumps, and lubricating aircraft components. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume of two pages or less showing employer, job title, start and end dates (month and year), hours per week, and duties
  • Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration, for men born after December 31, 1959
  • Proof of U.S. citizenship
  • Cover letter, optional
  • Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable

How you will be rated: You are rated on how well your resume, supporting documents, and online questionnaire meet the qualifications. You fail the screen-out element and are rated ineligible if you cannot show you can do the work without more than normal supervision. If your qualifications appear inflated, you may lose consideration.

Tips for this job:

  • Keep your resume to two pages or less, or it will be removed from consideration.
  • Show hands-on rotary wing aircraft work, such as changing oil and hydraulic pumps, since this is the screen-out element.
  • In the online application, re-select any other documents you upload from your USAJOBS account, or your application may be incomplete.
