Do you qualify for GS-13?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at the GS-12 level, which is the grade just below this job. It must include providing technical support for preparing and administering contracts or task orders for hazardous, toxic, and radiological waste (HTRW) work, and overseeing hazardous waste site investigations, feasibility studies, remedial design, or site cleanup construction.

With education: You must first meet the basic engineering requirement. This can be a bachelor's degree or higher in engineering from a qualifying program, such as one with an ABET-accredited program or with required calculus and advanced science courses. Other options include a current Engineer Intern or Engineer in Training registration, a Professional Engineer license, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, 60 semester hours of required science and engineering courses, or a related science degree plus at least 1 year of professional engineering experience. Education cannot replace experience at this grade.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Valid state driver's license, which you must be able to obtain and maintain

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of two pages or less, showing employer, job title, start and end dates by month and year, hours worked per week, and duties
• Online questionnaire
• Transcripts, required if you qualify using education
• Proof of U.S. citizenship
• Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable
• Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration, if required
• Optional cover letter

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire show you meet the qualifications. If you inflate your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration, and incomplete or incorrect packages may be rated ineligible.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must be two pages or less and must show hours per week for each job, or your application may be marked incomplete.
• Describe your hazardous waste, remediation, and contract oversight work in detail, since education cannot replace the required experience.
• If you qualify through education, upload your transcript with your application or you will be rated ineligible.
