Basic Requirement for Architect:
A. Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in architecture or in a related field that included 60 semester hours of course work in architecture or related disciplines of which at least (1) 30 semester hours were in architectural design, and (2) 6 semester hours were in each of the following: structural technology, properties of materials and methods of construction, and environmental control systems.
OR
B. Combination of Education and Experience: College-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the arts and sciences underlying professional architecture, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the architectural principles, methods, and techniques and their applications to the design and construction or improvement of buildings. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by at least one of the following:
1. Related Curriculum: Degree in architectural engineering may be accepted as satisfying in full the basic requirements, provided the
completed course work in architectural engineering provided knowledge, skills, and abilities substantially equivalent to those provided
in the courses specified in paragraph A. The curriculum for a degree in either architecture or architectural engineering covers function,
esthetics, site, structure, economics, mechanical-electrical, and other engineering problems related to the design and construction of
buildings primarily (but not exclusively) intended to house human activities. The courses required for a degree in architecture generally
place emphasis upon planning, esthetics, and materials and methods of construction, while the courses for an architectural
engineering degree place equal or greater weight on the technical engineering aspects such as structural systems, mechanical systems,
and the properties of materials. Because of this difference in emphasis, persons with degrees in architecture may have a preference for
work assignments that offer greater opportunities for them to express their artistic and creative abilities. As a result, they may be more
concerned with planning and design aspects of architecture, and persons with degrees in architectural engineering may be more
engaged in aspects emphasizing technical engineering considerations.
2. Experience: An applicant lacking a degree in architecture must have had l year of experience in an architect's office or in architectural
work for each year short of graduation from a program of study in architecture. In the absence of college courses, 5 years of such
experience is required. This experience must have demonstrated that the applicant has acquired a thorough knowledge of the
fundamental principles and theories of professional architecture.
In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below:
Specialized Experience:
Have one year of specialized experience which includes the following. 1) Provide research and information for things such as design, planning, programming, real property, environmental or cost estimating aspects of design or construction for architectural work; 2) work on all phases of major design or construction projects; and 3) assist with facility condition assessment surveys to determine program planning or budgetary requirements. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-11).
You will be evaluated on the basis of your level of competency in the following areas:

• Attention to Detail
• Customer Service
• Decision Making
• Flexibility
• Integrity/Honesty
• Interpersonal Skills
• Learning
• Reasoning
• Self-Management
• Stress Tolerance
• Teamwork

Time in Grade Requirement: Applicants who have held a General Schedule (GS) position within the last 52 weeks must have 52 weeks of Federal service at the next lower grade or equivalent (GS-11).Education:Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For this job at the GS-12 grade level, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted.
FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
