General Engineer, GS-0801-13
The incumbent of this position provides technical advice on issues of material selection, maintenance, test and evaluation, standardization, application, production and performance. The incumbent is responsible for the management and continuous improvement of the Coast Guard's Corrosion Control and Coatings Program to protect Coast Guard Assets through corrosion prevention and mitigation whichmeet environmental requirements, and have an acceptable functional appearance. Being a Coast Guard civilian makes you a valuable member of the Coast Guard team. Typical work assignments include:
Providing technical and engineering support to program managers, maintenance managers and others on issues of application, repair and removal of marine coatings systems. Ensures Coast Guard coatings and specifications are in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations. Serving as technical authority on coatings/corrosion control and provides Coast Guard-wide policy and procedures for coatings systems used on CG facilities, cutters and boats, aircraft and navigational aids. Providing performance requirements, technical restrictions, materials guidelines and information regarding the operational environment to which coatings and materials will be subjected. Collecting, reviewing, evaluating and disseminating existing data governing coatings and corrosion control technology and its effectiveness in USCG applications including life cycle cost, coatings system selection, application, formulation, and alternative corrosion control methods. Maintaining market awareness in order to understand technology trends and industry capabilities by attending symposia, conferences, capability briefs, and other events. Ensuring that assigned budgets are executed in accordance with direction provided by the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) Comptroller. BASIC QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS A. Applicants must show successful completion of a professional engineering curriculum leading to a bachelor's or higher degree in engineering in an accredited college or university. To be acceptable, the curriculum must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and advanced courses 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); (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. OR B. A 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 professional engineering, and (2) a good theoretical and practical understanding 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:
current registration as a professional engineer 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. 2. Written Test:
evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer- in-Training (EIT) examination, or the written test required for professional registration, which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners in the various States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. 3. Specified Academic Courses:
successful completion in an accredited college or university of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering. These must have included the courses specified in the basic requirement. 4. Related Curriculum:
successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology may be accepted in lieu of a degree in engineering, provided the candidate has at least one (1) year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS In addition to meeting the basic entry qualification requirements, applicants must have had one (1) year of specialized experience equivalent to at least GS-12. Examples of specialized experience include:
applying extensive, in-depth knowledge of engineering principles, practices and concepts of coatings technology and related manufacturing processes for cutters and boats; knowledge of latest developments of innovative solutions in coatings technology to engineering problems of national impact. Please provide an unoffical copy of your degree. Specialized experience is experience that has equipped you with the particular ability, skill, and knowledge to successfully perform the duties of this position and is typically in or related to this line of work.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
