• Perform planning and design work with responsibility for preliminary and final designs in structural steel, reinforced masonry and reinforced concrete for small, large and highly complex projects.
• Develop detailed engineering design studies and perform structural engineering design work and material estimates for civil works and military projects.
• Prepare technical write-ups and basis of designs for documentation reports, design memoranda, and other design or project reports.
• Make field reconnaissance trips for orientation as to various topographical and environmental features to investigate structural problems, relating to construction, modification, maintenance, and rehabilitation of structures.
• Provide advice and consultative services on the structural aspects of various types of projects or problems.
• Provide technical support to construction field personnel to assist in resolving structural civil engineering problems and completing projects.
• Coordinate and prepare contract plans and technical specifications for civil works and military projects structures.

Conditions of Employment

• Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed background investigation.
• Business travel requirement is 10%.
• A valid, state-issued motor vehicle driver's license is required since project sites may be located in remote areas that are not accessible by public transportation.
• Work outside the office involves exposure to varying weather conditions, walking over rough, uneven surfaces, climbing, stooping, bending, and entering confined spaces, requiring use of hard hats and appropriate safety gear.

Qualifications

1. 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.
2. 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, or 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 A above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program.
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 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.
