PEVI is a 25-acre site located at Put-in-Bay, Ohio on South Bass Island in western Lake Erie. The only commercial access to South Bass Island is by ferry or plane from April to November. Annually, approximately 150,000 visitors have the opportunity to take the elevator to the top of the 352-foot Monument. On the park grounds there is visitor center, ranger station, administrative office, maintenance facility, and nine park housing units. Services in Put-In-Bay include a bank, churches, EMS services, grocery store, gas station, K-12 school, library, police, restaurants, and shops.

Physical Demands: The work of this position has no unusual physical demands. However, extended workdays and occasional evening and weekend contacts are inherent.

Occasional travel is required.
Working Conditions: Work is largely performed at the park in an office setting with visits to other sites associated with the park. Inspection of the work sites and park resources may involve traversing on level, sloped, or uneven ground with some stair or ladder-climbing.
