Qualifications

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-11/18/2024-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 for each federal position listed as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of qualifying experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, your resume must state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected. Basic Requirements for 0808 occupational series To qualify for this position at either grade level, you must possess at least one of the following basic requirements: A) Successful completion of a bachelor's or higher degree in architecture or related field that included 60 semester hours of course work in architecture or related disciplines of which at least (1) 30 semester hours were in architectural design, and (2) 6 semester hours were in each of the following: structural technology, properties of materials and methods of construction, and environmental control systems. You must submit copies of your transcripts. -OR-B) Combination of education and experience - college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the arts and sciences underlying professional architecture, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the architectural principles, methods and techniques and their applications to the design and construction or improvement of buildings. The adequacy of such a background must be demonstrated by at least one of the following: Related curriculum: A degree in architectural engineering may be accepted as satisfying in full the basic requirements, provided the completed course work in architectural engineering provided knowledge, skills, and abilities substantially equivalent to those provided in the courses specified in paragraph A. The curriculum for a degree in either architecture or architectural engineering covers function, esthetics, site, structure economics, mechanical-electrical, and other engineering problems related to the design and construction of buildings primarily (but not exclusively) intended to house human activities. The courses required for a degree in architecture generally place emphasis upon planning, esthetics, and materials and methods of construction, while the courses for an architectural engineering degree place equal or greater weight on the technical engineering aspects such as structural systems, mechanical systems, and the properties of materials. Because of this difference in emphasis, persons with degrees in architecture may have a preference for work assignments that offer greater opportunities for them to express their artistic and creative abilities. As a result, they may be more concerned with planning and design aspects of architecture, and persons with degrees in architectural engineering may be more engaged in aspects emphasizing technical engineering considerations. You must submit copies of your transcripts. Experience: an applicant lacking a degree in architecture must have had one year of experience in an architect's office or in architectural work for each year short of graduation from a program of study in architecture. In the absence of college courses, 5 years of such experience is required. This experience must have demonstrated that the applicant has acquired a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles and theories of professional architecture. SELECTIVE FACTOR (GS-12 only): In addition to the basic requirements listed above, applicants at the GS-12 grade level must possess a valid professional architecture license from any state. Candidates who do not provide proof of this licensure or annotate the license within their application materials by close of this announcement will receive no further consideration for this position. Minimum Qualifications GS-11 in addition to meeting the basic requirement described above, applicants at the GS-11 grade level must possess at least one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement: EXPERIENCE: At least one full year of specialized experience comparable in scope and responsibility to the GS-09 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). This experience includes activities such as: research and interpret laws, regulations, policies, and guidelines related to architecture and code compliance; develop plans, specifications, and cost estimates for structures; collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on architectural projects, including engineering specialists, construction contractors, and design professionals; research building materials and systems (e.g., wood, masonry, metals, mechanical, heating, plumbing, and electrical systems) for use in construction; prepare technical reports, plans, and documents that assist in project development; proficient use of AutoCAD and other similar CAD based software. You must include hours per week worked. -OR- EDUCATION: Successful completion of at least three full academic years of progressively higher-level graduate education, a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in architecture, historical architecture, or other directly- related field of study which has provided the knowledge, skill and ability necessary to do the work of the position. . You must include transcripts. -OR- Successful completion of a combination of education and experience as described above. For example, 6 months of the specialized experience described above (50% of the experience requirement), and (45 semester hours or 68 quarter hours) of directly- related graduate level college study in an accredited institution (50% of the qualifying education). You must include transcripts. Minimum Qualifications GS-12 in addition to meeting the basic requirement and selective factor described above, applicants at the GS-12 grade level must possess the specialized experience as described below by the close date of the announcement: EXPERIENCE: At least one full year of specialized experience comparable in scope and responsibility to the GS-11 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors).
