PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

This is an active, physically demanding position that routinely involves standing, walking over uneven surfaces, reaching, bending, twisting, kneeling, crouching, climbing, balancing, and using both hands to operate tools and handle materials. Duties may require entering and exiting small boats; working on docks, floating piers, animal enclosures, and platforms that shift with tides, currents, and vessel wakes; and maneuvering around wet, narrow, or slippery working surfaces. The employee must be able to lift, carry, push, pull, and position equipment and materials, including occasional loads of up to 75 pounds and wet items moved between the water and dock, using assistance or mechanical handling aids when needed for safety. Work may involve prolonged exposure to weather, use of PPE and personal flotation devices, and manual operations requiring hand coordination, hearing, vision, and situational awareness.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT:

The primary work setting is the SISS operational compound and waterfront facilities at Naval Base Kitsap–Bangor, Washington. Work occurs in buildings, shops, outdoor grounds, storage areas, onboard small boats, and on floating piers, platforms, and marine mammal enclosure infrastructure. The Puget Sound marine environment includes frequent rain, persistent dampness, cold and windy conditions, seasonal freezing weather, salt spray, changing tides, and wet or slippery surfaces, as well as occasional summer heat. Employees may be exposed to equipment noise, power tools, moving machinery, vehicle traffic, marine growth, and controlled maintenance materials. Work must be planned and conducted around active security operations and marine mammal activities, following site access, environmental, and animal-area safety protocols. Approved protective clothing, flotation devices, and other task-specific PPE are required as applicable.
