Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social).

You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.

Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes: 1) Monitor major civil/military projects such as conventional buildings of all types of barracks complexes, family housing, hospitals, warehouse complex, hangars etc.; AND 2) Interpreting engineering and architect plans and/or specifications.

AND 3) Perform related administrative work such as daily reports, pay and construction progress/delays for review.

This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-9).

This position is being filled as a one-grade interval position.

For most one-grade interval occupational series, the qualification standard calls for at least one year of specialized experience at the next lower grade.

However, there is no position in the normal line of progression that is one grade lower than the position being filled.

Therefore, one year of specialized experience at the second lower level is creditable for in-service (current or former federal employee) applicants.

However, for outside applicants (i.e., those without current or prior federal competitive or excepted service), one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower level is required.

Please see statements below for qualifications and time in grade requirements. Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify.

For this job, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted.
