Qualifications
All qualifications must be met by 11:59 PM EST when the applicant cut-off is reached (which may be sooner than 12/21/2023).
Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. To receive credit for experience, your resume MUST clearly indicate the nature of the duties and responsibilities for each position, starting and ending dates of employment (month/year), and the resume must reflect full and/or part-time or total number of hours worked (i.e., work 40+ hours a week, rather than indicating full-time). If part-time, the hours must be annotated to be able to pro-rate the amount qualified specialized experience.
To qualify, you must meet following BASIC EDUCATION AND SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE requirements:BASIC EDUCATION: You must meet one of the following:
You must possess a degree in professional engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a Bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. YOU MUST INCLUDE TRANSCRIPTS. -OR-
Possess a combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by ONE of the following:
1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A.
4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. YOU MUST INCLUDE TRANSCRIPTS.
-AND-
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: At least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 grade level in Federal service performing professional engineering as listed below.
The experience includes: (1) developing studies, plans, and design criteria for repairs and alterations of structures (e.g., office buildings, warehouses, parking facilities, rehabilitation of a multi-facility development, visitor centers, wastewater treatment plants, national monuments, historical structures, cultural landscapes, etc); (2) providing professional engineering advice and guidance on the planning, designing, constructing, expansion, rehabilitation and/or re-purposing of existing and/or new structures and facilities; (3) determining project objectives, goals, timetables, schedules, milestones, cost estimates, and staffing needs for project quality; (3) conducting studies and developing plans, specifications, and construction requirements such as schedules, costs, labor, and materials; (4) overseeing construction, renovation or restoration projects for structures, facilities or sites; (5) tracking progress and status of projects and contractual change orders using various reporting mechanisms; and developing technical specifications, cost estimates and scope of work and monitoring project activities and outcomes as Contracting Officer's Representative. You must include hours per week worked.
Volunteer Experience: Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
Education
You
must submit a legible copy of transcripts from an
accredited institution with
your name, school name, credit hours, course level, major(s), and grade-point average or class ranking, and degree conferral if applicable. Transcripts do not need to be official but must include the information listed above. If you are selected for this position, you must provide official transcripts before you begin work.
If you are using
education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet qualification requirements, you must show that your education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
There is no substitution of education for experience at the grade level of this announcement.
