You will ensure adequacy of design for changes to existing Weight and Material Handling Equipment (WHE/MHE) assigned to the Kings Bay complex. Requirements Conditions of Employment Qualifications In addition to the Basic Education requirement, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: *Experience applying knowledge and skills necessary to serve as a recognized expert regarding mechanical aspects of design, installation, maintenance, operation, alteration, overhaul and replacement for complex state-of­-the-art WHE. *Experience applying knowledge of basic mechanical and structural engineering and physical science principles, concepts and terminology. *Experience applying knowledge and understanding of the technology of mechanical systems and electric/electronic/mechanical control systems and motors for all types of WHE. *Experience applying knowledge of maintenance principles and practices, testing and inspection of WHE/MHE in the mechanical, structural and electrical areas as defined in NAVFAC P-307. *Experience composing, editing, and preparing technical instructions, reports, correspondence, etc., for final approval. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/mechanical-engineering-series-0830/ Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. Education Basic Requirements: 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.) IF CLAIMING EDUCATION, FAILURE TO SUBMIT TRANSCRIPTS/ITEMIZED LIST WILL RESULT IN AN INELIGIBLE RATING. Additional Information This position is covered by the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program. This position is subject to work an uncommon tour, including nights, weekends, and holidays to meet mission requirements. Overtime or night differential pay and/or unusual duty hours may be required. A relocation incentive is generally a single payment intended to offset some of the relocation costs experienced by the selectee. A relocation incentive may be authorized. On occasion, assemblies weighing up to 40 pounds may require lifting. There will be occasions when it will be necessary to climb ladders and stairs both internal and external to buildings or equipment. A considerable amount of walking, stooping and bending for extended periods may be required in the performance of the job. Work includes the ability to drive a car or van, climb and walk up ladders to overhead cranes, climb ladders on portal cranes, crawl through work spaces, work in tight quarters and damp areas, and in close proximity to moving machinery. Must have good eyesight and hearing (correctable with vision and hearing aids). Work external to the complex and some travel may be required for the purpose of system familiarization, meetings, equipment/component testing, and acceptance. Required to visit job sites in the vicinity of rotating, high pressure, high temperature, and high voltage equipment. Work on high roofs, trusses, towers, elevated structures, and subsurface structures is required. May be exposed to dangers of falling from high elevations, electrical shock, smoke, and temperature extremes. Outdoor work is required, and adverse weather must be faced. Uncomfortable conditions such as dampness, dirt, poor illumination, and noise are to be expected in the routine accomplishments of duties. Exposure to radiation also exists, and the wearing of a TLD Is required to detect exposure. May be required to inspect and test units located in hazardous locations and during hazardous operations (i.e., torpedo magazines, nuclear staging areas). Personnel will be performing tasks at heights requiring the use of fall protection equipment. Only users within the capacity range d 125 to 310 pounds can qualify to utilize fall protection equipment. Registration as a professional engineer is desirable, but not mandatory. Several vacancies may be filled. A tentative offer of employment will be rescinded if the selectee fails to meet the pre-employment requirements, including failure to report to any of the scheduled appointments.
