CIVIL ENGINEER

Plans, organizes, and directs the activities of an organization involved in the development or sustainment of a single major system or smaller multiple systems within JITTC-E. Exercises supervisory personnel management responsibilities. Plans, programs, budgets, and executes required projects in support of assigned programs.

Performs work in facilities operations and maintenance (O&M) functions. Provides consulting services and project coordination. Integrates and synchronizes work force for the demand of maintenance/customer service and preventive maintenance.

In order to qualify, you must meet the specialized experience requirements described in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions, Professional and Scientific Positions. BASIC REQUIREMENT OR INDIVIDUAL OCCUPATIONAL REQUIREMENT: 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 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.

OR 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 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 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.

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 the 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 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.

(The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) NOTE: You must submit a copy of your transcripts with your application.

In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below: SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Applicants must have at least one (1) year of specialized experience at the next lower grade GS-13, or equivalent in other pay systems.

Examples of specialized experience includes experience of a wide range of advanced multidisciplinary professional engineering concepts, principles, practices, standards, methods, techniques, materials, equipment, and of system engineering and efforts required to achieve and preserve operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness (OSS&E) in systems or end-items and as applied to Joint Integrated Test and Training Center-Elmendorf in general and the establishment, sustainment, and protection of real property management and financial management.

Experience of civil engineering work control, customer service, and operations/maintenance management procedures; knowledge of civil engineering work centers and type of work performed by each type of work center and associated computerized maintenance management and sustainment management systems, system capabilities, and economic usage to effectively accomplish assigned functions.

FEDERAL TIME-IN-GRADE (TIG) REQUIREMENT FOR GENERAL SCHEDULE (GS) POSITIONS: Merit promotion applicants must meet applicable time--in-grade requirements to be considered eligible. One year at the GS-13 level is required to meet the time-in-grade requirements for the GS-14 level.

TIG applies if you are in a current GS position or held a GS position within the previous 52 weeks. NOTE: Applicants applying as VEOA candidates who are current GS civil service employees or are prior GS civil service employees within the past 52 weeks must also meet time-in-grade requirements.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES (KSAs): Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas: 1.

Knowledge of a wide range of advanced multidisciplinary professional engineering concepts, principles, practices, standards, methods, techniques, materials, equipment, and of system engineering and efforts required to achieve and preserve operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness (OSS&E) in systems or end-items and as applied to Joint Integrated Test and Training Center-Elmendorf in general and the establishment, sustainment, and protection of real property management and financial management. 2.

Knowledge of civil engineering work control, customer service, and operations/maintenance management procedures; knowledge of civil engineering work centers and type of work performed by each type of work center and associated computerized maintenance management and sustainment management systems, system capabilities, and economic usage to effectively accomplish assigned functions. 3.

Knowledge of safety, security, environmental standards, personnel management, and EEO regulations, practices, and procedures and how to apply them. 4. Skill in preparing FM program reference material and training presentation, and tracking training currency for all assigned FMs.

This includes skill in the use of AF/DoD Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) processes for preparing necessary documents for Civil Engineering and Airbase requirements input to the biennial Program Objective Memorandum (POM) for adjusting the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). 5.

Ability to plan, organize, and direct the functions and mentor, motivate, and appraise the staff of an organization, leading multi-functional teams to identify, document, and validate Civil Engineering operational requirements, airbase capability gaps, and alternative solution approaches. 6.

Ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and with technical accuracy, both orally and in writing, as well as work in a professional manner with peers, management, contractors, academia, and other agencies; to prepare professional level engineering documents and delivering General Officer (executive) level information and decision briefs; to research, evaluate, interpret, and apply rules, regulations, and procedures to a variety of situations; and to recommend timely and economical solutions.
