General Engineer
What you'd do
Serves as Service Area focal point during Implementation Plan development for F&E funded NAS programs.
Major duties
Manages projects in the Eastern Service Area across multiple program areas that deal with, but are not limited to, the long-term restoration, replacement, sustainment, and hardening of NAS facilities impacted by hurricanes and other natural disasters. Plans for and manages projects within Unstaffed Infrastructure Sustainment (UIS) program in assigned geographic areas. Works with Field Incident Response team during and after natural disasters and utilizes engineering and technical expertise to create a list of facility impacts and develop an initial implementation plan. Assigns all projects to Service Center Groups and Engineering Services associated with the implementation plan. Makes tactical decisions during implementation of programs to stay within scope, schedule, and cost. Incumbent applies experience and comprehensive knowledge of general engineering principles, theories and concepts to: Manage engineering, construction, installation, training, backfill overtime, airspace changes/redesign, configuration management, Safety Management System (SMS), acceptance, capitalization, and closeout of projects. Tracks, monitors, and provides status reporting on all aspects of assigned program areas. Identifies, develops, tracks, and utilizes project funds, including local or reimbursable projects. Ensures budget submissions are well justified, have valid cost estimates, justifications, background data if appropriate, and identifies local constraints. Provides cost, schedule, and methodology data to stakeholders for program and project implementation. Issues project authorization/assignment sheets to Engineering Services and other Service Center groups to accomplish NAS projects. Focuses on Data-Driven Decision (3D) making by providing oversight for the accuracy of the Corporate Work Plan (CWP) for the assigned program. Assesses the impacts of changes to the CWP resulting from new requirements, budget constraints/changes, and initiates a Work Change Notice (WCN) when appropriate. Identifies implementation related program risks. Monitors and mitigates risks through the life of the project. Resolves programmatic issues to preclude negative impact on implementation budget and schedule. Provides leadership in developing and defining Service Area Program Implementation Plans to deploy major NAS systems or programs. Leads the effort in influencing implementation priorities for each candidate program/project. Provides input to Investment Analysis process, reviews program baseline, evaluates the level of integration with existing facilities, collects site-specific information, identifies all program costs, and schedules all program-related activities. Accountable for ensuring conformance with established FAA regulations, policies, and procedures.
What you need to qualify
OPMs, Individual Occupational Requirements (IOR) for professional engineering positions in conjunction with the Group Qualification Standard for Professional & Scientific Positions. (A) Degree: Professional Engineering. To be acceptable, 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 & 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 & 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; Combination of Education & Experience - College-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical & mathematical sciences underlying professional 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 - Current registration as a professional engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. 2) Written Test - Evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination, or the written test required for the professional registration which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners 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 in engineering that included the courses specified in the basic requirements. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph ¿A¿ above. 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 applicant has had at least one 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 curricula are not all-inclusive). IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE BASIC REQUIREMENT: To qualify for this position at the FV-J level, you must demonstrate in your application that you possess at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the FG/GS-13. Specialized experience is experience that has equipped you with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform successfully the duties of the position. Specialized experience is: Experience in overseeing large engineering and installation activities. Experience in overseeing project budgets. Applicants should provide examples of Specialized Experience in their Work History. Qualifications must be met by the closing date of the announcement.
