Duties
MAJOR DUTIES
As a senior-level engineer, the incumbent is responsible for the independent planning and execution of projects related to complex safety problems at mining operations throughout the United States. The incumbent employs basic and advanced engineering concepts and applied research techniques in executing duties, and transfers the results of complex studies to practical applications. Due to the diverse workload of the Division, the incumbent will work in the area of underground ground control evaluating pillar stability, multiple seam interactions, and the effectiveness of support methods, as well as perform investigations of ATRS systems, cabs, and canopies.
Examples of such duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Evaluates the needs of the mining industry regarding roof control technology and initiates programs to improve the state-of-the-art in this area. (20%)
- Performs field investigations of roof control problems in underground mines and utilizes rock mechanics techniques to provide useful information to mine operators and MSHA inspection personnel in determining potential changes to improve roof stability. Conducts in-mine investigations and analyses of cabs, canopies, and automated devices proposed for use in lieu of cabs and canopies to determine if they are technically acceptable and practically sound. (20%)
- Evaluates complex roof control plans, addendums, or mining proposals for adequacy related to ground control and pillar stability. (20%)
- Attends meetings and conferences with Federal, State, and private organizations to obtain and provide information relative to ground control. Keeps abreast of technological developments in the field of the roof and/or ground control through contacts with the mining industry and government agencies and thorough review of relevant literature. (20%)
- Designs complex laboratory investigations to determine the qualities of roof support systems to define their applicability to unique mining situations. The incumbent leads a team of engineers and technicians in the execution of such studies, and prepares reports of subsequent findings in a timely manner. (10%)
- Prepares and presents ground control related training materials involving ground control, particularly on new technologies that can improve current industry methods. Audiences will include MSHA personnel, other government officials, and industry stakeholders. (10%)
The GS-7 is a lower level position and the incumbent will perform duties under more restricted supervisory controls and with lesser complexity. Duties at the GS-09 and GS-11 are development leading up to the full performance level of the GS-12.
