Civil Engineer (Design), GS-0810-11/12
This position serves as a Project Manager/Civil Engineer within a multi-disciplinary architectural and engineering team. Projects include new construction of Coast Guard (CG) facilities or repair, maintenance, modification or renovation of existing facilities. Serves as an civil engineer for independent technical reviews, project scoping, field investigation, planning, cost estimating, problem and conflict resolution, scheduling, design production and construction. Projects and customers are located throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Area requiring multiple days to travel the remote units. Being a CG civilian makes you a valuable member of the CG team. Typical work assignments include:
Planning specific objectives, milestones, and phases for complex projects, and makes needed innovations and modifications. Conceiving, analyzing, designing, planning, and executing large and/or complex designs for diverse range of engineering projects. Evaluating design objectives, performs complex technical calculations, and identifies the most economical and efficient procedures for project design and performance considering all influences. Guiding and evaluating Architectural/Engineering (AE) contractor efforts and assesses technical and project progress in relation to the established schedule and resources allotted. Planning and executing a wide variety of logistics responsibilities including contractual support, logistics planning, and handling of logistics problems. Serving as a Construction Technical Representative, providing authoritative technical advice and guidance to the contractor performing work required by the contract. a. Basic Requirements:
Degree:
professional engineering. To be acceptable, the curriculum must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; 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 b. 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 professional 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:
Professional registration - Current registration as a professional engineer 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. Written Test - Evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination, or the written test required for professional registration, which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Specified academic courses - 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. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph A. Related curriculum - Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., 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. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) AND GS-11:
In addition to above basic requirements applicant must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-09 grade level (in the Federal sector). Specialized experience is experience that has equipped you with the particular ability, skill, and knowledge to successfully perform the duties of this position and is typically in or related to this line of work. Examples of specialized experience include:
assists in reviewing contract Architectural/Engineering designs and specifications for compliance with regulations and design criteria; assists in ensuring that projects comply with environmental regulations; conducting site visits to review existing conditions and determine project specifications; explaining technical engineering issues to others; applying civil engineering concepts and methods to define the requirements of multi-phase projects. GS-12:

National Service Experience (i.e., volunteer experience):
Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (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. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. The Office of Personnel management (OPM) must authorize employment offers made to current or former political appointees. If you are currently, or have been within the last 5 years, a political Schedule A, Schedule, C, Non-career SES or Presidential Appointee employee in the Executive Branch, you must disclose this information to the Human Resources Office.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
