This position is part of the National Archives and Records Administration. Serves as a General Engineer in the Space Planning and Projects Branch (BFS) within the Facilities and Property Management Division (BF) and provides a full range of professional, general engineering (electrical, structural, mechanical and civil) expertise and experienced capabilities as a project manager.

Duties

As a General Engineer, you will: Overall responsibility for managing the development of scope and budget for projects, deciding how to implement the projects, determining the resources needed for the project and coordinating to obtain the resources needed. Coordinating with the various other program offices within NARA at the appropriate time to execute the project, coordinating with the appropriate outside review authorities at the appropriate time to execute the project, providing technical assistance as appropriate to other NARA offices to ensure that the project is performed on time and within the available funding for the project. Responsible for leading multidisciplinary team(s) through the project lifecycle. Set team direction, coordinate activities across different organizational functions, and assign roles and responsibilities for the project including, conducting site surveys to determine condition of structures and systems, evaluate requirements and recommend incorporation, modification, or exclusion of various project features to best meet long-term needs of the government in consideration of such factors as urgency of needed repairs or redesign, useful life of building components and systems, and cost/benefits involved. Represent the Agency and the Contracting Officer (CO) on A/E, Construction Management, lease and Construction contracts as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Reviews complex engineering problems and provides recommendations to management. Prepares technical reports on highly complex A/E matters that influence current and future regional programs.

Requirements

Qualifications

You must meet the following requirements within 30 days of the closing date of this announcement. Specialized experience for the GS-14 is defined as one year of experience at the GS-13 level, or equivalent, that is directly related to the position and which has equipped the candidate with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully perform the duties of the position. Specialized experience for this position includes: - Demonstrated professional general engineering performing project management involving design and execution of construction or facility repair projects; AND - Identifying and making recommendations on problems and related project matters. In addition to the above requirements, you must meet the following time-in-grade requirement, if applicable (as defined in 5 CFR 300, Subpart F):For the GS-14, you must have been at the GS-13level for 52 weeks.

Education

Education Requirements: The education generally must be from an accredited (or pre-accredited) college or university recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Basic Requirements:

Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelors 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.

OR

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)1, 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)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board 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 an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelors 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. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.)
