Major Duties

THIS IS T5 EXCEPTED SERVICE PERMANENT POSITION

The primary purpose of the Interdisciplinary ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (0819)/ PHYSICAL SCIENTIST (1301), GS-1301-12, is to serve as the single point of contact for the initiation, development, and execution of all environmental activities and development of regulatory guidance for an installation and its immediate geographic region, with a collaborative influence extending to a broader area. Regional responsibilities may include, but are not limited to: aircraft mishap response, off site release assessments, air emission estimates, storm water discharge monitoring, and hazardous material shipments. Broader geographic impacts may include, but are not limited to: exporting project solutions, staff assistance visits, compliance assessments, and partnering with other units and intra-agency contacts to address challenges that affect multiple ANG units within or beyond state boundaries. Accomplishes long range environmental planning, budgeting, and programming activities that impacts the installation and the region. Reviews engineering planning and construction documents for environmental considerations as required. Oversees the operations of the Environmental Management Office to include providing limited supervision over any subordinate positions. Supervisory responsibilities will constitute less than 25% of the average work time, thus are not classification impacting.

Responsibilities:

  • Manages a most complex, highly technical environmental management and protection program.
  • Manages the entire Planning, Programming, Budget and Execution (PPB&E;) for the installations environmental quality (EQ) program area.
  • Prepares and guides implementation of environmental program plans.
  • Serves as an active member of the installation Design Working Group (DWG) accomplishing short term and long range planning in conjunction with Civil Engineering for future military construction and renovation projects.
  • Facilitates the decision making process ensuring due consideration is given to the natural environment, social, political, economic, and governance factors and provides a holistic frame work designed for the achievement of sustainable outcomes.

Qualifications

General Requirements: Basic Requirement for Physical Scientist (Environmental): A. Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in physical science, engineering, or mathematics that included 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science such as mechanics, dynamics, properties of materials, and electronics. OR B. Combination of Education and Experience: Courses equivalent to one of the majors, as shown in A above, that included at least 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science, plus appropriate experience or additional education. Basic Requirement for Environmental Engineer: A. Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (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 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), 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) examination, or any other written test required for professional registration, by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, or 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 A above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program. 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 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. Must provide transcripts with application. Interdisciplinary ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (0819)/ PHYSICAL SCIENTIST (1301), GS-1301-12: Must have at least one year of specialized experience, equivalent to at least the GS-11 level, or equivalent pay band in other pay systems in the Federal government. This experience was obtained in the private sector, but must is comparable to the GS grade indicated: Managing most complex, highly technical environmental management and protection program; managing the entire Planning, Programming, Budget and Execution (PPB&E) for the installations environmental quality (EQ) program area; preparing and guides implementation of environmental program plans; serving as an active member of the installation Design Working Group (DWG) accomplishing short term and long range planning in conjunction with Civil Engineering for future military construction and renovation projects; facilitating the decision making process ensuring due consideration is given to the natural environment, social, political, economic, and governance factors and provides a holistic frame work designed for the achievement of sustainable outcomes.
