Regular and periodic site visits to monitor construction progress demand physical exertion.

These field activities require walking over rough, uneven surfaces, climbing ladders and scaffolding, bending, and crawling to assess existing facilities, inspect confined spaces, or conduct structural pier evaluations.

Site visits may involve exposure to potentially harmful physical or chemical agents such as dust, loud noises, extreme heat, and fumes, requiring participation in agency medical surveillance programs to ensure ongoing occupational safety ICTAP Applicants: To be considered well-qualified and exercise selection priority as an ICTAP candidate, displaced Federal employees must satisfy all qualification requirements for the position and receive a rating in the highly qualified category (score 85) or higher.
