About the Position:
Join Team Soldier! As a Student Trainee (Engineer) (Pathways), the incumbent of this position will help Team Soldier save Soldiers' lives, improve their quality of life, and increase their combat effectiveness. PEO Soldier's mission is to arm and equip Soldiers to dominate the full spectrum of peace and war, now and in the future. To achieve this mission, the Army is treating the Soldier as a System, in the same sense that larger weapon platforms such as tanks, howitzers, and aircraft function as systems and integrate with other systems. All aspects of Soldier equipment are developed to be integrated, modular, interoperable, and mission-tailorable. The result is a single integrated combat system that enhances Soldier performance in all critical areas: increased effectiveness, decreased load, and improved mission flexibility.
This is a TEMPORARY SUMMER HIRE POSITION lasting until September 30, 2017. Employment dates are approximately May through SEPTEMBER. Actual length of employment is contingent upon budget, workload, and weather.

It is the policy of the Government not to deny employment simply because an individual has been unemployed or has had financial difficulties that have arisen through no fault of the individual. Information about an individual's employment experience will be used only to determine the person's qualifications and to assess his or her relative level of knowledge, skills, and abilities. Although an individual's personal conduct may be relevant in any employment decision, including conduct during periods of unemployment or evidence of dishonesty in handling financial matters, financial difficulty that has arisen through no fault of the individual will generally not itself be the basis of an unfavorable suitability or fitness determination.
Basis for Rating: Qualified candidates will be assigned to one of three quality categories: Best Qualified, Highly Qualified and Qualified. Veteran preference eligibles are listed ahead of non-preference eligibles within each quality category.
