Timpanogos Emergency Response Team

Service on Mount Timpanogos requires dedication, skill, and reliability. TERT operates on an annual selection cycle. We review applications once per year to select a cohort of new members who demonstrate the aptitude and commitment required for our mission.

Current Status: Open for Applications
The submission window closes strictly at the end of September.
Competitive Advantages

While not strictly required to apply, possessing these skills will significantly prioritize your application during the review process.

High Priority

Amateur (Ham) Radio

Communication in the field is critical. Significant preference is given to applicants holding a valid Amateur Radio License.

We strongly encourage obtaining your technician license prior to the October review period.

High Priority

Advanced Medical Training

Applicants with certifications beyond basic first aid are highly sought after. Current WFR, EMT, Paramedic, RN, or MD certifications are viewed very favorably.

Please include copies of any relevant medical certifications with your application packet.

Operational Prerequisites

CPR & Basic First Aid

This is the baseline for safety on the mountain. While you may submit your application prior to certification, all selected members must provide proof of current CPR and Basic First Aid certification before their first scheduled shift.
