Qualifications

In order to qualify, you must meet the specialized experience requirements described in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions, Technical and Medical Support Positions SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: One year of specialized experience for GS-0802-07 position which includes technical work in: drafting, surveying construction estimating, physical science, mathematics, aerospace, architecture, chemicals, electrical or mechanical systems, mining, petroleum, or nuclear systems. Practical knowledge of, and skilled in applying, standardized rules or operations for limited projects involving specialized or complicated procedures requiring substantial training or experience in methods and practices of drafting techniques sufficient to produce engineering drawings involving original, novel and/or designs. Knowledge and experience is required to exercise judgement to interpret drawings, plans, and specification and take action or make recommendations based on preliminary data interpretation or analysis. Considerable time is spent searching for information and in discussions with the designer to understand the design concept, to obtain information needed to make the drawings, and ensure appropriate integration between components. Knowledge and experience in using standard mathematical formulas to make computations; identify and correct deficiencies; and prepare and present reports and documentation requiring a high degree of precision and using a variety of projection techniques to portray unusual or complex designs. Knowledge and experience in applying standard rules, procedures, or operations requiring extended training or experience in a particular specialty field or brad training diversified experience in serval fields of surveying. As chief of party, surveying assignments are of limited scope where the assignment is substantially similar to precedents that clearly dictate the appropriate approach. Prepares necessary field notes and computation, and reports instances in which it appears that usual procedures and techniques will not accomplish assigned purpose. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service GS-06. OR Education: Successful completion of one full year of graduate education with major study in an appropriate field of engineering, construction, or industrial technology.

Knowledge of surveying methods, equipment, and techniques in the measurement or determination of distances elevations, area, angles, land boundaries, and other features of the earth's surface. 3. Skill in maintaining and operating reproduction machines. 4. Ability to prepay original and complex drawing that are neat, accurate, appropriately, dimensioned, and logically arranged, utilizing the methods and techniques of drafting; and print neatly and legibly, both freehand and with mechanical lettering devices. 5. Ability to make mathematical computations using standardized tables and formulas. 6. Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
