Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: 1) Applying principles, concepts, and theories of advanced engineering/architectural methods and techniques (e.g., civil, mechanical, electrical, architecture) to serve as lead/project manager in a full range of construction projects; 2) Serving as lead engineer/ architect in a full range of construction projects that involve various types of construction contracts, project delivery methods, and regulations governing contract administration; and 3) Providing expert construction engineering and management advisory services to activities and tenants served by an organization. ***NOTE: This experience must be fully and clearly supported in your resume to be considered. 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 AND https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/files/all-professional-engineering-positions-0800.pdf 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. PHYSICAL DEMANDS: The work is generally sedentary with periodic need for site visits involving walking, climbing, bending and crawling to assess or inspect existing and new facilities and generally traversing construction sites. Occasional surveys and inspections of the Navy and Marine Corps' infrastructure will require some physical exertion (For example, crawlspace inspections, above and below deck pier evaluations, etc.). A valid driver's license is required for driving to site visits and meetings at various installations. WORK ENVIRONMENT Work generally involves risks and observance of normal safety precautions typical of an office setting. However, field inspections are made which require protective clothing. Protective clothing worn in field inspections includes hard hats, reflective vest, hard-toed boots, safety glasses, and ear protection. Other protective wear such as safety harnesses, coveralls, and gloves may be required for certain situations. The incumbent is required to work in areas where certain potentially harmful physical and chemical agents are present. These agents may include but are not limited to: fumes, dust, noise, heat, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, chemicals, etc. To ensure employee safety and health, NAVFAC FECs maintain personnel protection programs consistent with applicable laws and regulations. These programs include protective equipment (i.e. ear protection or respirator), and laws and medical surveillance. As part of medical surveillance programs, the incumbent may be required to take medical examinations to assess medical qualifications for duty involving these agents.
