Qualifications

Who May Apply: US Citizens In order to qualify, you must meet the education and experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document. BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR GENERAL ENGINEER POSITIONS: A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's 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 structures to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. OR B. 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 bachelor's 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.) IN ADDITION TO MEETING THE ABOVE BASIC REQUIREMENT, TO QUALIFY FOR THIS POSITION, YOU MUST ALSO MEET THE BELOW QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. Specialized Experience for the GS-11: Specialized experience is define as: 1) Use electrical engineering theory, principles and practices related to layout and design of electrical systems. 2) Review design criteria, plans, and specifications for large scale facilities with high, medium, and low voltage power systems ensuring they comply with policies. 3) keeps the supervisor informed of progress and potentially controversial problems, concerns, issues, or other matters. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the Federal service (GS-09). EDUCATION SUBSTITUTION AND COMBINATION OF EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE MAY BE FOUND IN THE EDUCATION SECTION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. OR Specialized Experience for the GS-12: Specialized experience is define as: 1) Use electrical engineering theory, principles and practices related to layout and design of electrical systems. 2) Develop designs, plans and specifications for electrical systems of major size and complexity. 3) Review design criteria, plans, and specifications for large scale facilities with high, medium, and low voltage power systems ensuring they comply with policies. 4) keeps the supervisor informed of progress and potentially controversial problems, concerns, issues, or other matters. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the Federal service (GS-11).

Education

Education Substitution for the GS-11: Successfully completed a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or three (3) full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the work of the position, such as Engineering.

OR

Combination of Education and Experience for the GS-11: Possess the above specialized experience for the GS-11 grade level, but less than one (1) year; and possess at least two years of graduate education as described above, but less than the three (3) years. The computed percentage of the requirements must total at least 100 percent. To compute the percentage, divide your total months of qualifying experience by 12. The, divide your semester hours of graduate education beyond the second year (total graduate semester hours minus 36) by 18. Add the two percentages. The total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. (Note: You must attach a copy of your transcripts.)Time in Grade Requirement: Applicants who have held a General Schedule (GS) position within the last 52 weeks must have 52 weeks of Federal service at the next lower grade or equivalent (GS-09).

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.
