Qualifications

In addition to the Basic Requirements for this position, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: Experience in locating and applying promulgated technical requirements (e.g., reactor plant manuals, other system manuals, component technical manuals, standards, directives, specifications, etc.) to develop technical work documents and records for nuclear and propulsion plant maintenance actions. Experience with Navy nuclear power plant operations and maintenance to provide engineering support for complex maintenance problems. Experience with quality control requirements to support evaluation, preparation, and maintenance of curriculum items related to nuclear and propulsion plant maintenance actions. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/#url=List-by-Occupational-Series https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/nuclear-engineering-series-0840/ Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (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.

Education

Applicants must meet the following positive education qualifications requirements of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualifications Standards Manual: Applicants must possess

A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor'sdegree 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-yearphysics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science orphysics: (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 asoptics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.

OR

B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/ortechnical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical andmathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, boththeoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and theirapplications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such backgroundmust be demonstrated by one of the following:

1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern(EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by anyState, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means ofqualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration bymeans other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) areeligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field oftheir registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a StateBoard's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be ratedeligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.

2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals ofEngineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District ofColumbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.

3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours ofcourses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included thecourses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must befully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program asdescribed in paragraph A.

4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor'sdegree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics,chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, maybe accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant hashad at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professionalengineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either anestablished plan of intensive training to develop professional engineeringcompetence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g.,in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.)
