Civil Engineer - DHA
Solves atypical and/or highly difficult technical problems encountered related to civil construction; troubleshoots design problems for the construction and rehabilitation of assigned projects. Evaluates a wide range of changes in the design and construction of assigned projects consisting of heavy construction; earthwork and concrete; with related mechanical and/or electrical and/or electronic components. Meets with contractor representatives to review and clarify contract requirements, give advice on special and unique construction requirements, and review and monitor work schedules, and ensures compliance with contract specification. Inspects the construction of assigned projects. Prepares technical reports concerning contractor work progress, difficulties encountered, and prepares necessary sketches or data. Basic Education Requirements:
Applicants must first meet the Basic Education Qualification Requirements listed below:
A. Degree:
Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must:
(1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one or more program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (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. ORB. 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. 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. To Qualify at the GS-11 Level:
Applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade level GS-09 in the federal service. Specialized experience at the GS-11 level is defined as experience in construction oversight and engineering support of heavy civil and mechanical construction contracts including experience in reviewing technical submittals, overseeing structural modifications, and interpreting complex engineering drawings and specifications. OR 3 years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree or Ph.D or equivalent doctoral degree. To Qualify at the GS-12 Level:
Applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade level GS-11 in the federal service. In addition to the specialized experience for the GS-11 level, specialized experience at the GS-12 level is defined as experience in professional level engineering components of construction oversight including interpreting and reviewing construction schedules, providing engineering oversight and direction of civil construction contracts, and leading or overseeing the work of subordinate inspection/quality control staff. 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. Applicants will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. If selected, the selectee will be required to provide official college transcripts to verify educational qualifications. An official transcript bears the University Seal and a signature certifying its authenticity and must be provided from the institution awarding the degree. Academic transcripts certified by notary publics are NOT official. Official transcripts must be submitted prior to reporting to work as a condition of employment. Failure to submit official transcripts may be grounds for dismissal or rescission of the job offer.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
