Performing advanced hydraulic and hydrologicengineering studies, to include sediment transport and multiple-dimensional, steady and unsteady flow numerical modeling and analysis. 2. Performing designs, reviews and inspections of hydraulic structures and conveyance facilities associated with dams, levees and channels, to include: outlet works, locks, embankments, interior flooding facilities such as pumping stations and culverts, diversion structures, river stabilization measures, navigation channels, and shore and bank protection; 3. Analyzing and designing projects for flood risk management, aquatic ecosystem restoration, streambank protection, and other types of river engineering projects. 4. Participating in General Investigation and Continuous Authority Program studies under SMART Planning. 5. Completing climate change impact analysis and risk assessments for inland projects. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-12). Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For this job, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted. Selective Placement Factor This position has a selective placement factor which must be met prior to employment and for continued employment. This position requires registration or licensure in Professional Engineering. Registration may be in any state, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia. (NOTE: You must provide/upload your Professional Engineer License as proof of claimed registration/license.)

Education

FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show the 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.
