Qualifications

Experience requirements are described in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions Professional and Scientific Positions.

BASIC REQUIREMENT for 0801/0810/0830/0850 Engineer Positions (Must provide transcripts): A Bachelors degree (or higher degree) in Engineering. To be acceptable the program must: (1) lead to a bachelors 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 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
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 professional 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.

Basic Requirement for 0808 Architect (Must provide transcripts): A Degree: architecture; or related field that included 60 semester hours of course work in architecture or related disciplines of which at least (1) 30 semester hours were in architectural design and (2) 6 semester hours were in each of the following: structural technology properties of materials and methods of construction and environmental control systems.
OR
Combination of education and experience -- college-level education training and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the arts and sciences underlying professional architecture and (2) a good understanding both theoretical and practical of the architectural principles methods and techniques and their applications to the design and construction or improvement of buildings. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by at least one of the following:
Related Curriculum: Degree in architectural engineering may be accepted as satisfying in full the basic requirements provided the completed course work in architectural engineering provided knowledge skills and abilities substantially equivalent to those provided in the courses specified in paragraph A. The curriculum for a degree in either architecture or architectural engineering covers function esthetics site structure economics mechanical-electrical and other engineering problems related to the design and construction of buildings primarily (but not exclusively) intended to house human activities. The courses required for a degree in architecture generally place emphasis upon planning esthetics and materials and methods of construction while the courses for an architectural engineering degree place equal or greater weight on the technical engineering aspects such as structural systems mechanical systems and the properties of materials. Because of this difference in emphasis persons with degrees in architecture may have a preference for work assignments that offer greater opportunities for them to express their artistic and creative abilities. As a result they may be more concerned with planning and design aspects of architecture and persons with degrees in architectural engineering may be more engaged in aspects emphasizing technical engineering considerations.
Experience: An applicant lacking a degree in architecture must have had l year of experience in an architects office or in architectural work for each year short of graduation from a program of study in the absence of college courses 5 years of such experience is required. This experience must have demonstrated that the applicant has acquired a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles and theories of professional architecture.

In addition to meeting the basic requirement above to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below:

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Applicants must have at least 1 year (52 weeks) of specialized experience at the next lower broadband NH-02 equivalent to the next lower grade GS-11 or equivalent in other pay systems. Specialized experience includes managing design and construction phases for various programs collaborating extensively with diverse agencies and contractors and providing technical and architectural expertise for planning design review and problem-solving often for issues without established precedent. NOTE: Due to the use of 120-day rosters this period of experience may be completed within 120 days of the closing date of this announcement.

This announcement establishes a pool of candidates to fill future positions. We accept applications continuously during the open period of this announcement. We review applications and refer candidates for selection consideration as vacancies occur within the organization. Additional vacancies may be filled from this announcement upon its closing for up to 120 days

KNOWLEDGE SKILLS AND ABILITIES (KSAs): Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge skills abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:
1. Professional knowledge of a wide range of engineering or architectural theories concepts principles practices techniques and methods to apply advanced concepts and principles to building design construction processes and project management.

2. Thorough knowledge of design/construction standards methods practices techniques materials and contracting procedures relevant to executing assigned contracts/projects.

3. Knowledge of current U.S. laws and regulations as they pertain to Facility Engineering.

4. Knowledge of standard programming budget and funding processes.

5. Ability to forecast develop and evaluate resource requirements pertaining to assigned project(s) and develop concise written technical information appropriate for any specific audience.

6. Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing with senior officials from a broad array of
activities including federal and local government and industry.

PART-TIME OR UNPAID EXPERIENCE: Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid and or part-time work. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week.
