      NOTE: Current career SES members, former career SES members with reinstatement eligibility, and SES Candidate Development Program graduates who have been certified by OPM do NOT need to address the ECQs.

      1. Leading Change: This core qualification involves the ability to bring about strategic change, both within and outside the organization, to meet organizational goals. Inherent to this ECQ is the ability to establish an organizational vision and to implement it in a continuously changing environment.

      2. Leading People: This core qualification involves the ability to lead people toward meeting the organization's vision, mission, and goals.

      3. Results Driven: This core qualification involves the ability to meet organizational goals and customer expectations. Inherent to this ECQ is the ability to make decisions that produce high quality results by applying technical knowledge, analyzing problems, and calculating risks.

      4. Business Acumen: This core qualification involves the ability to manage human, financial, and information resources strategically.

      Additional information about the SES and Executive Core Qualifications can be found on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) SES Website. You are strongly encouraged to review OPM's Guide to SES Qualifications for specific examples and guidance on writing effective ECQ narrative statements. Applicants are encouraged to follow the Challenge, Context, Action, and Result (C-C-A-R) model outlined in the guide.

      Mandatory Technical Qualifications (MTQs)

      Applicants are required to submit a narrative statement for each MTQ. MTQs are designed to assess an applicant's experience relevant to the specific position requirements. Each MTQ narrative statement must 1) not exceed two pages; 2) include specific examples of your experience, education, and/or accomplishments; and 3) address specific challenges, contexts, actions, and results.

      MTQ1 - Demonstrated experience and skill in the technical management and leadership of multidisciplinary senior technical and professional personnel in planning and executing complex technical programs.

      MTQ2 - Demonstrated experience and ability in reviewing and evaluating engineering issues of significantly complex scope and effect as they relate to (a) the safety of processes and systems at nuclear facilities and (b) nuclear facility safety management programs.

      MTQ3 - Demonstrated experience and ability to balance and mediate competing technical demands, expectations, and perspectives among senior officials, multidisciplinary technical and professional personnel, and external entities.

      Education

      Basic Requirements:

      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.
      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-inclusive.)

      If you do not meet the education requirement, your application will be assigned a "not qualified" status.

      Additional information

      Telework may be approved at the discretion of the supervisor, per agency policy.

      Veterans' preference does not apply to the Senior Executive Service (SES).
