WORKING CONDITIONS: Working conditions, supervision, maintenance management, and administration are extremely challenging because of the park's remoteness, the unpredictability of Lake Superior and the lack of overland transportation routes. Operation of boats is required to transport equipment, materials, supplies, and personnel into and through this water oriented park. These factors create a maintenance operation more complex and more difficult than is indicated by a statistical breakdown of facilities, personnel, visitation, land area, and equipment inventories. Winter operations and maintenance activities may expose incumbent to temperatures as low as 40 degrees below zero, and could involve snowmobile travel over frozen lake surfaces, requiring a thorough knowledge of changing ice conditions to avoid potentially injurious or deadly exposure. In the spring and summer months, the incumbent may be exposed to poisonous and non-poisonous insect bites. Occasionally may be required to stay in shared island quarters, either planned or unplanned due to inclement weather, where teamwork with supervisors and subordinates is necessary.
