OR

Applicant has a combination of education and experience that is 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; or 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; or 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; or 4. Related curriculum-Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in 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 (must provide a copy of official transcripts at time of application). AND

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Applicants must have at least one (1) year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-11) or pay band in the federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector that includes applying concepts, principles, and practices to a broad range of engineering, construction management, life cycle management; establishing design parameters and preparing project justifications and specifications; drafting techniques and conventions; drafting skills sufficient to convey design concepts, ideas and formulate working drawings; analyzing, interpreting, and applying results, rules, regulations, and procedures to a variety of situations; planning and monitoring large-scale projects to assure compliance with applicable objectives, standards, and requirements; developing solutions to problems such as procedures and methods of installation of material, extent or scope of work to be performed, quality of materials to be installed, and acceptable levels of workmanship. FEDERAL TIME-IN-GRADE (TIG) REQUIREMENT FOR GENERAL SCHEDULE (GS) POSITIONS: Merit promotion applicants must meet applicable time-in­-grade requirements to be considered eligible. One year at the GS-11 level is required to meet the time-in-grade requirements for the GS-12 level. TIG applies if you are in a current GS position or held a GS position within the previous 52 weeks.
