Qualifications This is an interdisciplinary position which may be filled by either of the following series: Architect (0808), General Engineer (0801). In addition to the Basic Requirements for this position, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: 1) Performing construction management and construction engineering for alternations, repair, and new construction of a broad range of facilities; 2) Preparing construction cost estimates in support of contract negotiations; 3) Reviewing and approving all contract technical submittals (e.g. design drawings, product selection, environmental protection plans, schedules and/or quality control plans); 4) Monitoring construction contractor quality and safety programs by conducting site visits; and 5) Reviewing pre-final contract drawing and specifications. Note: This information must be supported in your resume. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/#url=GS-PROF https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/general-engineering-series-0801/ https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/architecture-series-0808/ Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. Physical Demands The work is generally sedentary with periodic need for site visits involving walking, climbing, bending and crawling to assess or inspect existing and new facilities and generally traversing construction sites. Occasional surveys and inspections of the Navy and Marine Corps' infrastructure will require some physical exertion (For example, crawlspace inspections, above and below deck pier evaluations, etc.). A valid driver's license is required for driving to site visits and meetings at various installations. Work Environment Work generally involves minimal risks and observance of safety precautions typical of an office setting. However, field inspections are made which may require protective clothing. Protective clothing worn in field inspections includes hard hats, reflective vest, hard-toed boots, safety glasses, and ear protection. Other protective wear such as safety harnesses, coveralls, and gloves may be required for certain situations. The incumbent may be assigned to work in areas where certain potentially harmful physical and chemical agents are present. These agents may include but are not limited to: fumes, dust, noise, heat, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, chemicals, etc. To ensure employee safety and health, NAVFAC FECs maintain personnel protection programs consistent with applicable laws and regulations. These programs may include protective equipment (i.e. ear protection or respirator), and laws and medical surveillance. As part of medical surveillance programs, the incumbent may be required to take medical examinations to assess medical qualifications for duty involving these agents.
