Qualifications
To qualify for this position, applicants must meet all requirements by the closing date of this announcement, 11/26/2024.
Time-In-Grade Requirement: Applicants who are current Federal employees and have held a GS grade any time in the past 52 weeks must also meet time-in-grade requirements by the closing date of this announcement.
NOTE: This does not apply to Non-Federal Applicants, or applicants applying for consideration under Non-Competitive Authority (i.e.... "30% or more Disability", VRA, and/or Schedule A).
INDIVIDUAL OCCUPATIONAL REQUIREMENT: This position does have an IOR (Individual Occupational Requirement) that must be met in addition to the Time-in-Grade and regular Specialized Experience qualifications. In order to qualify for this position, you must have the education or experience listed below:
Specialized Experience:
Experience in the preparation or review of plans, specifications, or estimates of materials and costs for the construction, extension, alteration, or repair of buildings. Applicants should have knowledge of the residential construction field, and experience in the development of plans and specifications, and in negotiation work. This experience may have been obtained working as a contractor or as a draftsperson in an architectural engineering firm. However, any drafting experience must have provided an opportunity to acquire technical knowledge.
Appropriate experience includes working with diverse construction materials (brick, lumber, reinforced concrete, steel) and types of structures (housing, single-family dwellings and multi-family apartment units, and industrial and commercial structures). Applicants should be familiar with matters such as planning a subdivision, laying out traffic flow in a multi-family apartment structure, or working out specification problems in plans.
OR
Undergraduate and Graduate Education: Major study -- architecture, engineering, building construction, or other fields related to the position.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT: You may qualify based on your experience and/or education as described below:
Specialized Experience GS-11:
For the GS-11applicants must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade (GS-09) in the normal line of progression for this position. As the GS-11, production output expectations (volume) will be reduced relative to the GS-12 so the incumbent must be able to perform at the lower level. Specialized experience is defined as (1) knowledge of the residential or commercial construction plans, specifications, or estimates of materials; or (2) experience coordinating or managing construction projects.
OR
You may substitute Specialized Experience with education as follows: Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in architecture, engineering, building construction, or other fields related to the position, or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree, or an LL.M. In order to be qualifying, education must be in a related field.
OR
You may qualify with a combination of experience and education. To combine education and experience, your total qualifying experience is calculated as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level. Then, your education is calculated as a percentage of the education required for the grade level. The two percentages are added together. The total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify for that grade level. Only graduate level education in excess of the first 36 semester hours (54 quarter hours) may be combined to be considered for qualifying education.
Specialized Experience GS-12:
For the GS-12 you must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade GS-11 in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization. Specialized experience is defined as (1) experience in the residential or commercial construction plans, specifications, or estimates of materials for construction; and (2) experience coordinating and monitoring construction projects.
GS-12: There is no educational substitute at this grade level.
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; religions; 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.
Note: A full year of work is considered to be 35-40 hours of work per week. Part-time experience will be credited on the basis of time actually spent in appropriate activities. Applicants wishing to receive credit for such experience must indicate clearly the nature of their duties and responsibilities in each position and the number of hours a week spent in such employment.
Physical Requirements: The work is primarily sedentary with most travel by automobile, air, or other public transportation. The position requires frequent scheduled field trips in a Government vehicle throughout the assigned geographic jurisdiction. The work requires some physical exertion, such as long periods of standing, walking over rough, uneven, rocky or slippery surfaces; recurrent bending, crouching, stooping, stretching, climbing, or similar activities; recurring lifting of light to moderately heavy items weighing less than 25 pounds such as testing or measuring equipment; and/or regular visits to construction or property sites.
