Qualifications

Compatible Military Assignments: 32E3G

This is an interdisciplinary architect or engineer position. The nature of the work is common to the architecture or several engineering disciplines. The duties assigned to this position can be classified in either of the following architecture or engineering occupational series: General Engineering, GS-801 (this includes Architectural and Construction Engineering); Architecture, GS-808; Civil Engineering, GS-810; Environmental Engineering, GS-819; Mechanical Engineering, GS-830; Electrical Engineering, GS-850. The position may be filled with an incumbent qualified in any of the above occupational series. The position will be classified to the occupational series of the incumbent selected at the time that the position is filled.

1. General Experience: degree in architecture; or related field that includes 60 semester hours of course work in architecture or related disciplines of which at least (1). 30 semester hours were in architectural design, and (2) 6 semester hours were in each of the following: structural technology, properties of materials and methods of construction, and environmental control systems.

OR

2. Combination of Education and Experience:
college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished a thorough knowledge of the arts and sciences underlying professional architecture, and a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the architectural principles, methods, and techniques and their applications to the design and construction or improvement of buildings. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by at least one of the following:

(1). Related Curriculum: Degree in architectural engineering may be accepted as satisfying in full the basic requirements, provided the completed course work in architectural engineering provided knowledge, skills, and abilities substantially equivalent to those provided in the courses specified in paragraph A. The curriculum for a degree in either architecture or architectural engineering cover's function, esthetics, site, structure, economics, mechanical-electrical, and other engineering problems related to the design and construction of buildings primarily (but not exclusively) intended to house human activities. The courses required for a degree in architecture generally place emphasis upon planning, esthetics, and materials and methods of construction, while the courses for an architectural engineering degree place equal or greater weight on the technical engineering aspects such as structural systems, mechanical systems, and the properties of materials. Because of this difference in emphasis, persons with degrees in architecture may have a preference for work assignments that offer greater opportunities for them to express their artistic and creative abilities. As a result, they may be more concerned with planning and design aspects of architecture, and persons with degrees in architectural engineering may be more engaged in aspects emphasizing technical engineering considerations.

(2). Experience: An applicant lacking a degree in architecture must have had 1 year of experience in an architect's office or in architectural work for each year short of graduation from a program of study in architecture. In the absence of college courses, 5 years of such experience is required. This experience must have demonstrated that the applicant has acquired a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles and theories of professional architecture.



SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Must have at least 1 year of experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade of (GS-11) or 36 months specialized experience which includes professional architectural or engineering knowledge in the areas of civil, mechanical, electrical, facility, environmental, fire protection, architectural, military contingency, plant facility and construction engineering disciplines and architecture; responsible for projects beginning with site proposals and plans through final construction and occupation by users.
