Basic Requirements:
For the GS-0801, General Engineer, you must possess the following Basic Requirements:
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;ORCombination 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), 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; OR 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; OR 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; OR 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. For the GS-1301, Physical Scientist, you must possess the following Basic Requirements:
Degree:
physical science, engineering, or mathematics that included 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science such as mechanics, dynamics, properties of materials, and electronics; ORCombination of education and experience -- education equivalent to one of the majors shown in A above that included at least 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science, plus appropriate experience or additional education.In addition to meeting the Basic Requirements described above, you must also meet the Specialized Experience Requirements described below.SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:
Specialized Experience is experience that equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform successfully the duties of the position, and that is typically in or related to the work of the position to be filled. For the GS-14, a qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-13 grade level in the Federal service in one or more of the following areas:
performing technical and/or economic assessments of projects involving the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources; managing research projects that are conducted by an external organization and that are related to the development of technologies for the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources performing research related to the development of technologies for the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources. For the GS-15, a qualified candidate's online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-14 grade level in the Federal service in one or more of the following areas:
leading a team that evaluates competitive research proposals for the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources; and/or participating on a team that established research needs, technical objectives, budget requests and/or spend plans for a research program focused on the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources. Your application and resume should demonstrate that you possess the following knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs). Do not provide a separate narrative written statement. Rather, you must describe in your application how your past work experience demonstrates that you possess the KSAs identified below. Cite specific examples of employment or experience contained in your resume and describe how this experience has prepared you to successfully perform the duties of this position. DO NOT write see resume in your application! Knowledge of advanced theories, concepts, principles, and practices in engineering and physical sciences relative to effective fossil energy resource development, specifically the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources. Mastery of technical and economic aspects related to effective fossil energy resource development, specifically the exploration, characterization, and/or production of oil and/or natural gas resources, sufficient to plan and implement assigned research programs; define, interpret and apply techno-economic analyses; evaluate and guide research projects, and communicate with subject matter experts and stakeholders. Knowledge of National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) financial management and budget policies and procedures to ensure appropriate use of federal funds in project management activities. Knowledge of technical, administrative, and business aspects of project management and Government procurement practices to conduct research, development and demonstration activities. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience. Examples of qualifying unpaid experience may include:
volunteer work done through National Service programs (such as Peace Corps and AmeriCorps); as well as work for other community-based philanthropic and social organizations. Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills; and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
