Qualification Requirements

To qualify, you must meet the education and specialized experience requirements described below. Your 2-page resume must clearly describe your relevant experience. This position requires an education, and you must provide transcripts as part of your application.

Basic Education Requirement For Civil Engineer (Hydraulics)

• Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must:
• Lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or
• 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:
• Statics, dynamics;
• Strength of materials (stress-strain relationships);
• Fluid mechanics, hydraulics;
• Thermodynamics;
• Electrical fields and circuits;
• Nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and
• 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:
• A thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering; and
• 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. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than a 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.
• 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, or Puerto Rico.
• Specified academic courses: Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences that included the courses specified in A above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program.
• 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 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.

In addition to meeting the basic requirements above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below.

Specialized Experience

One year of specialized experience which includes developing designs of coastal projects such as wetland restoration, shoreline protection, and beach erosion control; preparing hydrodynamic and sediment transport models; providing guidance; writing AE task orders; and reviewing completed work by others.

This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-12).

Selective Placement Factor

This position requires the possession of a current Professional Engineer (PE) license issued by any State in the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico upon entry.

Other Conditions And Requirements

• Travel may require up to 20% of the time for site visits.
• Incumbent is required to possess or be able to obtain and maintain a valid driver's license from any of the 50 states or its territories.
• This position requires a 1-year probationary period.
