Who can apply: The public.
The job is open to the public, but only U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and people who owe allegiance to the U.S. may apply. Hiring preferences apply to some groups, such as veterans and military spouses, and you must provide proof of any eligibility you claim.
Experience: No previous experience or training is required.
Education: Education cannot replace experience for this job. Foreign education counts only if you show it is equivalent to a U.S. education.
Experience can be paid or unpaid, volunteer work included: if it matches the duties, it counts. The full rules are in the announcement.

3 Apply on USAJOBS
Closes in 6 days (November 10, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time).
You sign in to USAJOBS with a Login.gov account, answer the questionnaire and upload your documents, then you submit. Answer the questionnaire honestly: your resume must show what you claim.
How they rate you: Your application is first checked for minimum qualifications. Then your resume and supporting documents are compared with your questionnaire answers to judge your level of experience. If it appears you overstated your experience, you may lose consideration.
4 After you apply
In USAJOBS, under Applications, you can see where your application stands: received, reviewed, referred to the hiring manager or not, then selected or not. It can take a few weeks.
For the interview, prepare three examples with the STAR method: the Situation, the Task, what you did (Action) and the Result.
If they choose you: a tentative offer, then a background check, then the final offer with your start date.
Tips for this job:
- Describe any work you have done with hand tools, power equipment, lifting, or grounds maintenance in your resume.
- Upload every document you need, such as proof of veterans' preference, before submitting, since a missing document makes your application incomplete.
- Submit the complete application by 11:59 PM EST on 11/10/2026.
