Electrical Engineer; Protection Job Fort Peck Montana USA,Engineering

Position: Electrical Engineer (Protection)
Location: Fort Peck

As an Electrical Engineer (Protection), you will perform work related to the application of knowledge in (a) the physical and engineering sciences and mathematics, (b) electrical phenomena, and (c) the principles, techniques, and practices of electrical engineering. The employee is a trainee and will participate in increasingly responsible work and sustained progress toward a fully functioning and independent Electrical Engineer.

Applicants must meet all qualifications and eligibility requirements by the closing date of the announcement.

In order to be qualified for this position, you must meet the basic requirement AND minimum qualification requirements for the grade level(s) in which you apply.

Basic Requirement: You must meet one of the following:

A. Degree:
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.

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:

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. (You must submit licensure or registration.)

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. (You must submit documentation)

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.

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-inclusive.)

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS To qualify at the GS-05:

Applicants must meet the Individual Occupational Requirements (IOR) for the 0800 Series as described above.

To qualify at the GS-7:

In addition to meeting the Individual Occupational Requirements for the 0800 series, applicants must have one year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-5 grade level or equivalent pay band in the Federal service. This experience includes:

Applying practical knowledge of electrical engineering concepts, principles, and methodology while performing routine engineering projects.

Education:

One (1) year of graduate-level education or Superior Academic Achievement (S.A.A).

A combination of education and experience to successfully perform the duties of the position.

To qualify at the GS-9:

In addition to meeting the Individual Occupational Requirements (IOR) for the 0800 series, applicants must have one year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-7 grade level or equivalent pay band in the Federal service. This experience includes:

Applying practical knowledge of electrical engineering concepts, principles, and methodology to perform routine engineering projects related to power systems operations, transmission planning, and/or power systems reliability.

Education:

Two (2) years of progressively…
