Major Duties:
Qualifications: MANDATORY QUALIFICATION CRITERIA: For this particular job, applicants must meet all competencies reflected under the Mandatory Qualification Criteria to include education (if required). Online resumes must demonstrate qualification by providing specific examples and associated results, in response to the announcement's mandatory criteria specified in this vacancy announcement: 1. Experience managing the design, construction, or modernization of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. 2. Experience managing the design and construction of facilities. 3. Experience developing project plans, cost estimates, and schedules for facility construction or renovation projects. 4. Experience reviewing facility designs and drawings for compliance with national and local building codes. 5. Experience accomplishing assigned tasks with minimal supervision and short time constraints. EDUCATION REQUIREMENT: A. Education: Degree in Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of Engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; 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 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: 1. 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 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. 2. 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, and Puerto Rico. 3. Specified academic courses: Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A. 4. 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 bachelor's 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-encompassing.) Note: An applicant who meets the basic requirements as specified in A or B above, except as noted under B.1., may qualify for positions in any branch of engineering unless selective factors indicate otherwise. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT: Moderate lifting, 15-44 pounds; Climbing, use of legs and arms; Hearing (aid permitted); Near visual acuity of 20/40 or better with or without corrective lenses; Far visual acuity of 20/40 or better binocular with or without corrective lenses ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENT: Working outside and inside; Working around excessive noise, intermittent; Exposure to dust; Exposure to silica, asbestos, etc; Exposure to fumes, smoke, or gases; Working around solvents (degreasing agents); Working around grease and oils; Working around electrical energy; Working around slippery or uneven walking surfaces; Working around machinery with moving parts; Working around moving objects or vehicles; Working at heights; Exposure to mold DESIRABLE QUALIFICATION CRITERIA: In addition to the mandatory qualifications, experience in the following is desired: 1. Possession of a professional certification or license, such as a Project Management Professional (PMP), Engineer-in-Training (EIT), Professional Engineer (PE), or DAWIA Facilities Engineering certification. 2. Experience applying Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) or other federal design standards to facility projects. 3. Experience using verbal and written communication and/or presentation skills to clearly convey ideas or information. 4. Experience making well-informed, effective, and timely decisions, with consideration for the impact and implications.
