All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-02/10/2020-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. To qualify for this position at the GS-12 grade level, you must possess the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement:
BASIC REQUIREMENT - successfully completed a full 4-year professional engineering curriculum, leading to a bachelor's or higher degree in engineering from an accredited college or university that has an engineering curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) OR successfully completed a full 4-year professional engineering curriculum leading to a bachelor's or higher degree in engineering. The curriculum included differential and integral calculus and courses in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry): (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 successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination AND completed of all of the requirements for a bachelor's degree in engineering technology (BET) that included 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences as listed above. OR a registered Professional Engineer in a state in the U.S., the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. My registration is based on passing a written examination given by the State Board. OR completed at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences that included courses as described in B above, and are acceptable toward a degree in professional engineering. OR a combination of education and experience. I have successfully completed a 4-year curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in a related scientific curriculum such as physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology. Additionally, my work experience includes one or more years of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. (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.) AND 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). Specialized experience is experience which included the development of civil engineering project construction drawings, technical specifications, and cost estimates as well as project management of multiple concurrent projects as substantiated by my resume/application; knowledge of project management principles and concepts; application of professional engineering principles, practices, procedures of project development; managing contractors or other project team members and providing operational leadership principles and risk management regarding work safety. Your resume must include hours per week worked.Candidates who do not meet these requirements by close of this announcement will receive no further consideration for this position. You must include months, years and hours per week worked to receive credit for your work and/or volunteer experience.
