Supervisory Interdisciplinary Engineer

About the role

Reclamation is seeking a career professional looking for an opportunity to capitalize on their expertise as a Supervisory Interdisciplinary Engineer. You can make a difference in the West by assisting in meeting increasing water demands while protecting the environment. Duty Location: Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Basin Region, Engineering Service Office, Boulder City, NV. Opened to Department of Interior Employees. Full time telework or remote work NOT available. This is an interdisciplinary position. Position may be filled by: Supervisory Civil Engineer, GS-0810-14; Supervisory Mechanical Engineer, GS-0830-14 or Supervisory Electrical Engineer, GS-0850-14. Basic Education Requirement: To be eligible for the position, you must meet the Basic Education Requirement for the Engineering series as noted below: Qualifications for GS-0810, Civil Engineer; GS-0830, Mechanical Engineer; and GS-0850, Electrical Engineer: 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)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. 2. 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. 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.) Additional Requirement: To qualify for the position (in addition to meeting the Basic Education Requirement above), the HR Office must be able to determine that you meet the education and specialized experience requirement. GS-14: In order to qualify for the GS-14 grade level, your resume must reflect one year of specialized experience equivalent in complexity and difficulty to the GS-13 grade level. Your resume must reflect experience performing and providing oversight of professional engineering work in design, contract administration and construction management for new and existing water resources or power related facilities or infrastructure. Experience should also demonstrate the ability to provide
