General Engineer Capital Asset Program (CAP) Manager/PD20027-O Physical Requirements:
The work is primarily sedentary, some physical effort may be required, e.g., walking, standing, carrying light items such as manuals or briefcases, or driving or traveling by motor vehicle. Due to the nature of the known asbestos health hazards associated with exposure to asbestos fibers, incumbent will be required to utilize various levels of respirators and PPE when involved in any phase of reviewing work in an asbestos environment. Extensive walking tasks, climbing, stooping, crawling, kneeling and life safety inspections in restricted and confined areas. To qualify for this position, applicants must meet all requirements, specialized experience and basic requirements, by the closing date of this announcement. GS-12 grade level:
One year of specialized experience (equivalent to the GS-11 grade level in the federal service); experience that equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA's) and other characteristics to perform successfully the duties of the position, and that is typically in or related to the work of the position to be filled, in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization. Specialized experience includes:
providing consultation and expertise ensuring Capital Asset Plans are consistent with strategic plans and mission; Serving as the principal advisor to management concerning capital investment planning related to construction or maintenance matters; Developing, planning and coordinating the review, selection and tracking of all delegated Non-Recurring Maintenance and Minor construction projects. Providing direction and assistance in development of the Design Program and other construction project submissions. AND BASIC REQUIREMENTS:
A. Degree:
professional engineering (successfully completed a full 4-year course of study in an accredited college or university leading to a bachelor's or higher degree that included a major field of study in professional engineering). 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 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. NOTE:
You must submit a copy of your transcripts with your application package for verification purposes. (TRANSCRIPTS REQUIRED) 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:
Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, 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. NOTE:
You must submit a copy of your registration or licensure with your application package for verification purposes. (DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED) Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 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. NOTE:
You must submit a copy of your registration or licensure with your application package for verification purposes. (DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED) 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.

You must submit a copy of your transcript(s) with your application package for verification purposes. (TRANSCRIPTS REQUIRED) 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.) NOTE:
You must submit a copy of your transcript(s) with your application package for verification purposes. (TRANSCRIPTS REQUIRED) Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religions; spiritual; community; student; social).
