Do you qualify for WS-9?

With experience: You must show enough training and experience to do the job.

With education: Not stated. If you use school to qualify, the school must be accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • EPA approved Section 608 Technician Certifications 'Type I' and 'Type II', or EPA approved Section 608 Technician Certification 'Universal'. Current BOP employees in WS-5306 positions are considered to meet this requirement.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume (2 pages maximum) with name, contact information and relevant experience, including start and end dates (MM/YYYY) and hours per week for each job

  • SF-50 if you are a current or former federal employee
  • Proof of CTAP or ICTAP eligibility, if applicable
  • Transcripts if you rely on education

How you will be rated: Your answers to the online assessment questions place you in one of three categories: Best Qualified, Highly Qualified, or Qualified. Your resume and documents are checked against those answers. You lose points or may be found ineligible if your resume does not clearly describe your skills, if you do not score at least half of the possible points, or if you lack the required certification.

Tips for this job:

  • Upload your EPA Section 608 certification when you apply, because applicants without proof are not considered.
  • Show start and end dates in MM/YYYY format and hours per week for every job on your resume, or that experience may not count.
  • Name uploaded files without special characters like %, #, or @, and use names such as VA Letter, DD-214, or Transcripts.
