Qualifications
This flyer is being announced using the Direct Hire Authority under Certain Competitive Service Positions 5 U.S.C. Section 9905; Section 1101 NDAA FY19. US Citizens Internal status candidates (current federal employees) may also apply to this flyer and will be considered along with other external candidates. If a status candidate is selected, he/she will be given a new DHA appointment that does not impact federal employment or tenure. In order to qualify, you must meet the edcuation and/or 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. In addition to meeting the Basic Education Requirements listed under the Education section, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below: GS-11 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes developing designs related to structural features pertinent to the new construction and/or modification of navigation locks and dams, flood control and local protection projects, and appurtenant features. Designs structural steel, structural steel connections (bolts, welds, etc.), reinforced concrete and associated reinforcing steel, precast concrete, or any other requirements determined from the structural analysis. Prepares or coordinates preparation of finished 3D BIM models and 2D CAD drawings on structural items for use in contract drawings. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-09). OR Education: Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or 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 do the work of the position, such as: Engineering or Architecture. OR Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the second year (total graduate semester hours minus 36) by 18. Add the two percentages. GS-12 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience of professional engineering work which includes professional engineering work related to structural features pertinent to the new construction and/or modification of navigation locks and dams, flood control and local protection projects, and appurtenant features, coordinating and directing work of others in the accomplishment of project assignments, administering Architect-Engineer design work, or other work similar to that performed in this position. Prepares design documentation reports, contract drawings, plans, specifications, operation and maintenance manuals, engineering estimates, and engineering appendices for feasibility reports and more complete phases of an overall project or for large portions of major projects. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-11). Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For GS-12 level, you must meet the qualification requirement using specialized experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted at this level. At the GS-12 level, a Professional Engineering license is highly desired and may be used during selection decisions.
