Duties

Plans and accomplishes highly complex and challenging projects/programs and other work activities under the minimal direction of a manager, project/program manager, team leader, or more experienced engineer. May act as a principal technical specialist or as a project/program manager or team leader for large work activities. Applies experience and comprehensive knowledge of engineering principles, theories, and concepts to solve complex problems and to develop improved technical processes for the organization.

Manages and coordinates airport design standards related to the protection of airspace surrounding a runway. Serves as the airport engineering coordinator addressing the issues of obstacles, airspace, airport approach and departure surfaces, and one engine inoperative flight paths with the Flight Standards Service (AFS) and Air Traffic Organization (ATO). Utilizes engineering principles to determine if a waiver can be issued from Flight Standards and if other remediation is possible, when airports have objects that adversely affect instrument approaches. Using cost benefit analysis of possible solutions, analyzes whether the best solution is to accept the degradation of the approach minima or perform the best practicable remediation.

Assists the National Resource Expert for Airport Airspace with issues in coordination with Flight Standards and the ATO on obstructions and other airspace issues. Works with each of the three Regional Flight Procedures Teams (FPTs), Aeronautical Navigation Products, the Obstruction Evaluation Group (OEG) and Aeronautical Information Management (AJV-A) on decisions about the application of standards, airspace penetrations, determination of hazards, and changes to air traffic control procedures to mitigate non-standard situations.

Works within a team environment on coordination with the FPTs to ensure that the workflow of geospatial data is communicated to the Regions, Airport District Offices (ADOs) and airport sponsors. Serves a principle coordinator. Utilizes engineering analysis to resolve airspace coordination issues for airports that experience delays impacting the schedule for instrument procedures; and to determine system priorities based upon systemic impacts from relevant projects. Assists a team of airspace specialists with coordinating and conducting airspace training for ADO, Regional, and Headquarters personnel. Assists the National Resource Expert for Airport Airspace and coordinates with AFS and ATO with issues on obstructions and other airspace related issues. Works across FAA Lines of Business and Staff Offices (LOB/SOs) on updates to airspace policy and standards.

Serves as the engineering primary point of contact for providing airspace guidance to the Airports Regional and Airport District Offices (ADOs) on the standards, modifications, waivers and the process for resolving deviations. Works with the ATO and AFS to investigate and coordinate Congressional and other inquiries related to penetrations of instrument approaches, aeronautical surveys, and Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) at constituent's airports.

Contacts are internal and external to the organization. Represents the organization as a senior technical point of contact on projects, programs and other work activities. Provides guidance to lower-level staff to resolve difficult technical issues. Resolves all but unique technical problems without the intervention of management or a more experienced engineer. Develops plans, techniques, and policies to address current or anticipated problems and issues. Works with senior management to solve problems.

Broad policies and objectives provide general guidance for addressing issues, but allow considerable discretion to develop new and innovative approaches. Draws on experience to solve unusual problems and may create new solutions and policy interpretations as the situation requires. Provides policy guidance and instruction to others, both internally and externally.

    You should include relevant examples of the specialized experience in your work history. Errors or omissions may impact your rating or may result in you not being considered.

    Answer all questions to the best of your ability. DO NOT ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU HOLD, OR HAVE HELD THIS POSITION, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE FOUND ELIGIBLE. You may be asked to provide evidence or documentation that you have this type of experience later in the selection process. Your responses are subject to verification through job interviews, or any other information obtained during the application process. Any exaggeration of your experience or any attempt to conceal information can result in disqualification.

    *Applicants who fail to demonstrate possession of any of the above criteria AND who do not provide the required documentation will receive no further consideration for this position.*
