PHYSICAL DEMANDS
Work requires site investigations involving walking, stooping, and bending. Occasionally requires climbing of ladders and steep stairs. Extensive period of time is spent at a computer work station so the incumbent must be capable of physically and independently operating a computer work station. Sporadically throughout the year, the incumbent is responsible for energy awareness events that may require the incumbent to transport loads up to 50 pounds, sometimes manually. During the energy awareness events, the incumbent may be required to stand for periods of time up to 4 consecutive hours. Infrequently, the incumbent may be required to perform a night audit of a specific facility or of a base so the incumbent must have reasonable
night vision. As part of site investigations, the locations of problems or may lead to evaluation of a system. An example of this is hearing a steam trap opening and closing. Another example of this is use of a thermal photographic instrument that detects infrared heat signature but only reads out in specific colors. The incumbent may also be required to travel by air to attend conferences, workshops, trainings, meetings which will usually require long periods of confined inactivity aboard military aircraft, commercial airliners and sporadic waiting in airport terminals. WORK ENVIRONMENT
Work is predominantly in an office environment. During site investigations, the incumbent may be exposed to noise, adverse weather conditions, extreme temperatures, dust, blast hazards, and other adverse conditions as a result of operations. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (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. Education Applicants must meet the following basic education requirements of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualifications Standards Manual:
Successful completion of a professional engineering degree. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher) 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) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position.
OR
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 more information about EI and EIT registration requirements, please visit the National Society of Professional Engineers website at:
OR
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 The FE examination is not administered by the U. S. Office of Personnel Management. For more information, please visit:
OR
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 under paragraph A (above). The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A (above)
OR
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.
