Supervisory General Engineer

Responsibilities

• Oversee multidisciplinary engineering activities by applying working knowledge of various engineering fields to ensure technical adequacy, safety compliance, and effective resolution of complex operational problems.
• Evaluate completed drawings and engineering studies for technical adequacy and adherence to design criteria, ensuring that all proposed projects are feasible and meet operational limitations.
• Articulate design criteria and operating procedures to ensure that subordinates and tenant organizations understand their specific roles and project priorities.
• Manage personnel by establishing work assignments and operating procedures and evaluating subordinate capabilities to ensure maximum staff utilization and operational efficiency.

• Must obtain and maintain eligibility for a Secret Clearance.
• OGE‑450 Financial Disclosure required.
• This is a mission‑essential position.
• One‑year supervisory probationary period required.
• TDY up to 20% of the time.

In order to qualify, you must meet the education and/or experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, Ameri Corps) and other organizations. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application.

• Degree:
  Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in engineering from an ABET‑accredited program, or a degree that includes differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first‑year physics and chemistry) in at least five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics:
  • Statics, dynamics.
  • Strength of materials (stress‑strain relationships).
  • Fluid mechanics, hydraulics.
  • Thermodynamics.
  • Electrical fields and circuits.
  • Nature and properties of materials.
  • Other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics (e.g., optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, electronics).
• Combination of
  
  Education and Experience:
  
  College‑level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnishes a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering and a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. Adequacy may be demonstrated by:
  • 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.
  • Written test – successful passage of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or an equivalent written test required for professional registration.
  • Specified academic courses – successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences that include the courses specified above.
  • 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, geology) with at least one year of professional engineering experience under professional engineering supervision and guidance.

One year of specialized experience that includes:

• Directing the full life cycle of new builds, renovations, and facility improvements for real property assets.
• Preparing plans, specifications, and scale drawings using CADD and GIS software.
• Designing specialized facilities for hazardous chemical production, defense manufacturing, and base‑wide modernization.
• Checking for compliance with building codes and the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards.
• Monitoring construction progress to ensure adherence to contract standards and safety protocols.

Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For this job, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone – no…
