    State of Alaska 3.6company rating

    Technician job at Alaska State Library

    The Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry & Fire Protection, is recruiting for two Wildland Fire & Resource Technician 2/3 positions in Fairbanks, AK. What You Will Be Doing: * Ensure "10 Standard Firefighting Orders" and "18 Situations that Shout Watch Out" are implemented during suppression operations.

Mission and Values/Culture: The Division of Forestry and Fire Protection's mission is to protect Alaskans' lives and property from wildfires and to manage Alaska's forest resources for maximum sustainable yield. Fairbanks Area Forestry's fire suppression responsibilities encompass approximately 9 million acres in the central interior of Alaska, including the Fairbanks North Star and Denali Boroughs. In many locations, FAF is the primary, and sometimes the only, fire department in response to wildfires. Fairbanks Area's core structure is comprised of highly motivated firefighters who excel under adverse conditions, possess a strong, can-do work ethic, emphasize personal and professional integrity through continuous improvement, and are committed to building a team-focused wildland firefighter community. Wildland Fire and Resource Technicians are on the front lines, ensuring Alaska meets its objectives of providing safe, competent, and community-focused wildfire protection and sustainable forest management for Alaska's diverse user groups. Benefits of Joining Our Team: Selected candidates will be part of a high-performing and community-oriented organization that provides tip-of-the-spear firefighting response to wildfires threatening Alaska's residents, communities, and infrastructure. Individuals who are safety-minded, team-oriented, and thrive in a learning environment will have ample opportunities for upward mobility and training. This position is especially attractive to those who enjoy working outdoors, traveling across Alaska and the Lower-48, are interested in a dynamic and challenge-filled first responder career path, and are committed to public service. The work schedule is seasonal and can be flexible. However, commitment to the position and working long hours on short notice, even in remote field conditions, for extended periods, is expected and required.

FAF's fire suppression organization is comprised of Type-6 & 7 engines, Helitack, Prevention, the White Mountain Type-2IA hand crew, EFF Type-2 hand crews, and dozer operations. Personnel staff engines, helicopters, and hand crews daily and are ready to respond to wildfires not only within FAF's protection area, but across Alaska. When not on fires, fire staff are regularly engaged in training and fuels mitigation projects that enhance strategic and tactical fire suppression options and strengthen community wildland fire protection. A high level of physical fitness is required, and all initial attack personnel are expected to participate in daily physical training and complete the annual fitness testing. Fairbanks is the hub of Interior Alaska, and there are multiple local outdoor recreational activities, including camping, boating, hiking, fishing, berry picking, and photography. Fairbanks International Airport is located minutes away from FAF and is the primary departure point for exploring the far reaches of Alaska. We are looking for a candidate who possesses the following position-specific competencies. * Fire Management: Knowledge of the concepts, principles, and theories of fire management, including the characteristics, behavior, and ecology of fire; methodologies, strategies, and equipment used in prescribed fires; fire detection, prevention, and suppression strategies; and integration of fire with natural resource management. * Interpersonal Skills: Shows understanding, friendliness, courtesy, tact, empathy, concern, and politeness to others; develops and maintains effective relationships with others; may include effectively dealing with individuals who are difficult, hostile, or distressed; relates well to people from varied backgrounds and different situations; is sensitive to cultural diversity, race, gender, disabilities, and other individual differences. * Adaptability: Adjusts planned work by gathering relevant information and applying critical thinking to address multiple demands and competing priorities in a changing environment. * Teamwork: Encourages and facilitates cooperation, pride, trust, and group identity; fosters commitment and team spirit; works with others to achieve goals. * Physical Strength and Agility: Ability to bend, lift, climb, stand, and walk for long periods of time; ability to perform moderately heavy laboring work.
