Must have and maintain a valid driver's license throughout employment. You may be required to work on-call, evenings, weekends, holidays, overtime and shift work. Must obtain within two years of start date and maintain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL Class B), including meeting all CDL requirements such as the Department of Transportation physical exam, drug and alcohol testing requirements, and the minimum age of 21. Pre-employment and random drug testing are required. You will not be appointed to the position if a verified positive drug test is received. Occupancy of government quarters is required. You are required to wear a uniform and comply with the uniform standards. A uniform allowance will be provided. As a condition of employment for accepting this position, you will be required to serve a 1 year probationary during which your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest will be evaluated. This probationary period is an extension of the appointment process and therefore requires the agency to determine if continued employment would advance the public interest, meet the organization goals and mission of the agency, and/or otherwise promote the efficiency of the service. In determining if your employment advances the public interest, the agency will consider: your performance and conduct; the needs and interests of the agency; whether your continued employment would advance organizational goals of the agency or the Government; and whether your continued employment would advance the efficiency of the Federal service. Under applicable law, the employment of an individual serving a probationary or trial period automatically terminates when that period ends unless the agency affirmatively certifies, in writing, that the individual's employment should continue and that their appointment should be finalized. In the absence of agency action to affirmatively certify continued employment beyond the probationary or trial period, such appointments are terminated. *Additional Requirements located under qualifications*
