I went through the update process from MPE to ET and I passed the exam. There is a position open and I should move into it within the next pay period. I was wondering how they figure what step I would go into. I am now a level 9, step E and I am scheduled for step F in pay period 17. I heard they use some mathematical calculations not to exceed some percentage of a pay increase to determine which step you fall into. Also, say I go to level 10 step D would I still increase a step in pay period 17 or will I have to start over and wait another 30 weeks?

I just got past my KSA interview for an MPE slot in North Reading, MA. I understand they'll be hiring pretty soon-there's a 130,000 sq ft expansion in progress.But the job is an 80 mile round trip commute. I live in New Hampshire, are there any MPE slots in, say, Nashua, Manchester, or Concord? and how long would I have to wait before I'm eligible to apply for a transfer?

This is in reply for SEAMUS in NH. I work in the maintenance department of the North Reading facility. My suggestion to you is if you want to get foothold into the system then meet all the requirements of hire for North Reading, at that point upon hire you will be sent to several classes for training. This training will enhance your value for selection at a future date should there be an opening in a facility nearer to your home. Unfortunately right now I know not of any Maintenance openings in your area at this time and there are many people in various crafts with your situation. Once in the system you can research and perhaps find the solutions that you seek. The key point to this is getting in the system first!

I am maintance mechanic and recently I took MPE exam. I failed on KSA 33, which is ability to use shop power equipment. How can I updated my KSA? Is there any online course?. I am not getting any work order related to KSA either.

get a work order for something that needs you to use some power equipment, get an MPE to sign off that you use it safely and complete the work order. see if your MSS person will accept it, if they do then you have met the requirement and can retest.
