These sections include the National Capital Region and Field Operations Support Sections in the Washington, DC area; Real Property Management Section, in Quantico, VA (FBI Academy); and Redstone Facilities Services Section in Huntsville, AL (FBI Redstone campus).Qualifications:
GS-13: Applicant must possess at least one (1) year of SE equivalent to the GS-12 grade level. SE is defined as follows:
- Expert experience in designing and overseeing design and construction of commercial buildings, government buildings and data centers and have a strong knowledge of building systems in their area of engineering expertise.
- Expert experience performing and reviewing design of building systems and design calculations in their area of engineering expertise.
- Knowledge of the engineering standards in their area of engineering expertise as well as Federal, State, and local regulations as well as skill in inspection of construction projects to ensure conformance with these codes and regulations.
GS-14: Applicant must possess at least one (1) year of SE equivalent to the GS-13 grade level. SE is defined as follows:
- Mastery of advanced concepts, theories, practices and techniques of engineering acquired through a formal bachelor's degree program in engineering and through extensive work experience. Must also have a practical understanding of other engineering disciplines such as structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical sufficient to permit initial judgments or critical evaluations of findings and recommendations of other expert sources consulted.
- Advanced experience in to modifying and adapting standards, equipment and techniques to resolve a variety of engineering problems as well as ensure continuation of services without interruption or to prevent excessive downtime.
- Experience in applying new developments and experimental techniques to problems not readily treatable by standard methods.
Education:
Positive Education Requirement This position has a specific education requirement; all applicants must verify completion of this basic educational requirement by submitting a copy of their college transcripts by the closing date of the vacancy announcement.
Basic Requirement:
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 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) other comparable areas of fundamental engineering science or physics such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
OR
B. Combination of education and specialized experience - college level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished: 1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying 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:
1. Professional registration of 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. 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.
2. 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.
3. Specified academic courses- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A.
4. 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 one 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.
Education completed in foreign colleges or universities may be used to meet the above requirements provided you can show foreign education is comparable to that received in an accredited educational institution in the United States.
