It's ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys managing operations in a military setting and providing expert advice on infrastructure needs.

A good fit would be someone with strong leadership skills and a background in general engineering who thrives in challenging, isolated environments.

Key Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license, Engineer in Training (EIT) certification, or successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
  • At least one year of specialized experience at the GS-11 level in engineering, facilities management, or related supervisory roles
  • Knowledge of construction, utilities, environmental administration, and pest control in a public works context
  • U.S. citizenship and ability to qualify under Direct Hire Authority for DoD positions
  • Experience in developing annual work plans and providing technical advice on infrastructure services
  • Strong supervisory and leadership skills for managing DPW teams

Full Job Description

This is a Direct Hire Authority (DHA) solicitation utilizing the DHA for Certain Personnel of the DoD Workforce to recruit and appoint qualified candidates to positions in the competitive service.

About the Position: Serves as the Director of DPW at Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA), providing technical advice regarding the full range of DPW activities and services including the Annual Work Plan, construction, facilities management, environmental administration, utilities, pest control, etc.

Who May Apply: US Citizens In order to qualify, you must meet the education and experience requirements described below.

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.

Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application.

Additional information about transcripts is in this document. Basic Requirement for Supervisory General Engineer: A. Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in engineering.

To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (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), 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.

In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes preparing designs, cost estimates, and project schedules for engineering projects; reviewing design drawings and/or construction estimates for project functionality and technical acceptability; coordinating phases of planning and design across professional engineering disciplines to produce completed facilities that meet user needs; and providing advice for master planning matters.

This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-12).

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. Major Duties:

  • You will develop Sustainment-funded Annual Work Plan, Restoration and Modernization, Military Construction Army (MCA), and Unspecified Minor Military Construction Army (UMMCA) requirements.
  • You will perform managerial and supervisory responsibilities over civilian employees performing conservation, natural resources, cultural resources, compliance, building and ground maintenance activities, utilities, and contracting duties.
  • You will oversee and conduct negotiations with architectural/engineering firms and implement field-contract administration and quality assurance of locally awarded contracts at PTA.
  • You will coordinate the programming of the Restoration and Modernization (R and M), QUTM (Energy), Utilities, and bridging strategies directly with USAG HI for project and program approvals.
