Requirements

Qualifications

Resume-Based Resume: Applicants must show possession of the ECQs and any technical qualifications via resume. Your resume presented will reflect that you possess the ECQs and give a synopsis of your accomplishments. The application process used to recruit for this position is the RESUME BASED method. Although applicants cannot address the Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) separately, evidence of each must be clearly demonstrated in the five (5) page resume and throughout the entire application package. Mandatory Technical Qualifications (MTQs) must be addressed in a separate narrative. If you are a current SES and/or QRB certified, you do not need to provide a Resume Based ECQ write-up, but you must provide your SF-50 showing you are a current SES and/or QRB Certification from OPM. A sample 5-page executive level resume documenting ECQs can be viewed at this link http://www.opm.gov/ses/references/GuidetoSESQuals_2012.pdf Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs): The five (5) ECQs described below were designed to asses executive-level experiences and potential not technical expertise. They measure whether an individual has the broad executive skills needed to succeed in a variety of SES positions. ECQ 1: LEADING CHANGE: Ability to bring about strategic change, both within and outside the organization, to meet organizational goals and establish an organizational vision and to implement it in a continuously changing environment. ECQ 2: LEADING PEOPLE: Ability to lead people toward meeting the organization's vision, mission, and goals and provide an inclusive workplace that fosters the development of others, facilitates cooperation and teamwork, and supports constructive resolution of conflicts. ECQ 3: RESULTS DRIVEN: Ability to meet organizational goals and customer expectations, and make decisions that produce high-quality results by applying technical knowledge, analyzing problems, and calculating risks. ECQ 4: BUSINESS ACUMEN: Ability to manage human, financial, and information resources strategically. ECQ 5: BUILDING COALITIONS: Ability to build coalitions internally and with other Federal agencies, State and local governments, nonprofit and private sector organizations, foreign governments, or international organizations to achieve common goals. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is required by law to review the executive core qualifications of each new career appointee to the Senior Executive Service (SES) prior to appointment. Mandatory Technical Qualifications (MTQs): A supplemental narrative must be uploaded and attached to your application addressing each MTQ listed below. No more than one (1) page per MTQ is allowed; additional informational information will not be considered. MTQs must provide specific examples that address relevant experience and accomplishments. Applicants must reflect superior technical qualifications demonstrated through leadership and management in the following MTQs: Failure to submit a narrative statement addressing each of the MTQs will cause your application to be deemed incomplete and not be considered. MTQ 1: Experience or ability to provide leadership, direction, and oversight for a complex organization in the areas of national security, strategic partnerships, project management, emergency response, environmental management, environment, safety and health and security programs to include large nuclear and hazardous non-nuclear facilities. MTQ 2: Knowledge and Experience in leading directing and providing oversight of contractors with a large and diverse workforce responsible for complex technical, safety, security and business activities. MTQ 3: Demonstrated experience in leading strategic efforts in national security, facility management and site operations to ensure long term viability of organizational assets.
