General Engineer

Description:

See below for important information regarding this job.

Requirements:

To qualify for a General Engineer your resume and supporting documentation must support:

A. Basic Requirement: A Bachelor's Degree or higher in professional engineering. To be acceptable, the program must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one program 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

A 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:

a. Professional Registration or Licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (El), Engineer in Training
(EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) 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.
b. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any
other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the
District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
c. 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 above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional
engineering curriculum as described in the Basic Requirements above.
d. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a 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.

AND

B. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to
successfully perform the duties of the position and is directly in or related to this position. In addition to meeting the
Basic Requirement above for all grade levels, to qualify for the GS-12 grade level, specialized experience must be at
the GS-11 grade level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To
qualify for the GS-11 grade level, specialized experience must be at the GS-09 grade level or equivalent under other
pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify for the GS-09 grade level, specialized
experience must be at the GS-07 grade level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or
private sector. To qualify for the GS-07 grade level, specialized experience must be at the GS-06 level or equivalent
under other pay systems in the federal service, military or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements
including time-in-grade (General Schedule (GS) positions only), time-after-competitive appointment, minimum
qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Creditable
specialized experience includes:
