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. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: 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; Written test -- evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam or the written test required for professional registration; 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. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph A; - OR- Related curriculum -- successful completion of 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 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. 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. You must submit transcripts . -AND- Specialized Experience Requirements In addition to the basic education requirement, in order to be rated as qualified for this position, the HR Office must be able to determine that the applicant meets the specialized experience requirement - this information must be included in the resume. Specialized Experience Requirement at the GS-11 level: To qualify at the GS-11, you must possess: Specialized Experience Requirement: One full year of specialized experience equivalent in responsibility and scope to the GS-09 level in the Federal service. Specialized experience is professional experience supporting civil engineering, facility, infrastructure, construction, design, or maintenance projects. -OR- Education: Successful completion of at least 3 years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree or Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree. (Degree must reflect the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work.). -OR- Combination of education and experience: You may combine specialized experience and education to meet the minimum qualifications. Specialized Experience Requirement at the GS-12 level: To qualify at the GS-12, you must possess: Specialized Experience Requirement: One year of specialized experience equivalent in difficulty and complexity to at least the GS-11 level in the Federal service. Specialized experience is professional experience managing, leading, coordinating, or serving as a technical representative for civil engineering, facility, infrastructure, construction, design, or maintenance projects. Volunteer Experience 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). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. #J-18808-Ljbffr
