Reviews designer's output at various stages of design, to ensure proper adherence to scope and completion. Provides for adequate and early involvement of customers, including other Branch employees as necessary, to provide a high-quality project fulfilling all customer requirements. - Visits various buildings, grounds, and construction sites serving as a technical expert, troubleshooter, or consulting engineer to render assistance and/or quality assurance inspections to contractor or unit personnel. Assigns, coordinates, reviews, and approves work of branch members. - Participates in various programs for efficient accomplishment of the branch's mission, such as project data collection, labor utilization data, standardization of plans & specifications, plant modernizations, technical maintenance inspections, value engineering, and complete detailed records of the shore facilities and their conditions. Pursues computer-aided-design (CAD) in accordance with CG-wide program guidance. - Works closely with the Chief, Environmental, Safety & Fire Section to ensure proper design and construction of environmental compliance projects (whether OE funded or by EC&R appropriation). Maintains contact with necessary agencies with regard to environmental projects as coordinated with the Chief, Environmental, Safety & Fire Section. - Responsibilities also include cooperation and coordination within the Facilities Engineering Branch on transitioning projects from construction to sustainment/maintenance within the Public Works Section. Coordinates maintenance perspectives in designs at the concept through final design stages and solicits feedback via post construction reviews. Basic Requirements:
Degree:
professional engineering. To be acceptable, the curriculum must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; 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. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:
Professional registration -- Current registration as a professional engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. Written Test-- Evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination, or the written test required for professional registration, which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Because of the diversity in kind and quality of BET programs, graduates of other BET programs are required to complete at least 1 year of additional education or highly technical work experience of such nature as to provide reasonable assurance of the possession of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for professional engineering competence. The adequacy of this background must be demonstrated by passing the EIT examination. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering 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. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a 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. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) Additional Requirements:
Applicants must possess at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 grade level in the Federal Service. Specialized experience is experience that has equipped you with the particular ability, skill, and knowledge to successfully perform the duties of this position and is typically in or related to this line of work. Examples of specialized experience include:
Applying extensive, in-depth knowledge of engineering principles, practices and concepts; technical and administrative responsibilities that include engineering management, program planning, budgeting, and management of personnel and financial resources, performing personnel supervisory and management duties in engineering, and professional knowledge of planning, design and construction services. National Service Experience (i.e., 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.The Office of Personnel management (OPM) must authorize employment offers made to current or former political appointees. If you are currently, or have been within the last 5 years, a political Schedule A, Schedule, C, Non-career SES or Presidential Appointee employee in the Executive Branch, you must disclose this information to the Human Resources Office.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
