Established by individual legislation and designated purposes, the three units have come together as a unified, relevant and collaborative organizational structure. More commonly, you may know us as the Bunker Hill Monument, Charlestown Navy Yard, and Dorchester Heights or our partnerships along Boston's "Trails to Freedom" or our partnership on the Boston Harbor Islands. You may also know us from the Park Ranger uniform, but we also employ a wide variety of employees from across varied career fields.

The Educational Technician at Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area (the Park) works with both the Youth & Visitor Services Program Manager (position's direct supervisor) and the Education Program Specialist (provides non-supervisory technical direction) by assisting with the development of educational materials. This position may regularly present or assist in the presentation of curriculum based educational activities to applicable audiences in both the classroom and field settings at this full performance level (GS-05); however, such instructional presentation activities will not exceed 20% of the position's duties if such presentations are performed independently. In addition, the incumbent assists park staff, through liaison efforts to establish sound and sustainable educational programming partnerships with outside organizations.
To qualify based on education, you must submit a legible copy of transcripts from an accredited institution with your name, school name, credit hours, course level, major(s), and grade-point average or class ranking. Transcripts do not need to be official, but if you are selected for this position and you used your education to qualify, you must provide official transcripts before you begin work.
If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet qualification requirements, you must show that your education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
