  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Current federal employees and displaced employees may also apply under CTAP or ICTAP priority rules.

  • Test and inspect electrical and mechanical equipment to find causes of problems
  • Use manufacturer blueprints and specifications to repair or replace parts
  • Disassemble, repair and reassemble electrical equipment and devices
  • Perform preventive maintenance on motors, generators, timers and switches
  • Plan and lay out project work from drawings, including incomplete ones
  • Apply National Electric Code and NFPA rules to all maintenance and installation work

Do you qualify for WG-10?

With experience: No specific length of experience is required, but you must show training or experience that fits the work of this job. Your resume must describe your skills in detail. Applicants are rated under the OPM Federal Wage System Qualification Standards.

With education: There is no educational substitution at this grade level. Education cannot replace experience.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume (two pages maximum, showing job title, duties, month and year dates, and hours per week)
  • Transcript, only if you use education to qualify
  • DD-214 / Statement of Service, if you claim veterans' status or disability preference
  • Disability letter, if applying under Schedule A or VA disability
  • SF-50, if you are a current or former federal employee
  • SF-15 and Separation Notice (RIF), if applicable to your situation
  • Proof of CTAP or ICTAP eligibility, if applicable

How you will be rated: Your application, resume, online questionnaire and USA Hire assessments are rated. The assessments measure Electric Drawings, Electrical Equipment, and Troubleshooting (Electrical), and you must meet a cut score. Overstating experience or cheating on the assessment can get you removed from consideration.

Tips for this job:

  • Your resume must list job title, duties, month and year start and end dates, and hours worked per week for each job, or that experience may not count.
  • Keep your resume to two pages or less, or you will be ruled ineligible.
  • Check whether you need a transcript and DD-214 or other documents, because the announcement says it will not contact you for missing items.
