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

Open to the public in the local commuting area, but you must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. This is a Direct Hire Authority announcement.

What you would do

  • Manage buying, operating, replacing, and disposing of equipment.
  • Control assets and watch vehicle maintenance costs to prevent waste.
  • Prepare requirements and budget recommendations for equipment purchases.
  • Plan long-term equipment replacement based on expected equipment life.
  • Complete transactions in the Enterprise Business System (EBS).
  • Prepare equipment reports and keep equipment history in EMACS.

Do you qualify for GS-11?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience (work that gave you the skills to do this job) at a level equal to GS-9 or higher, to qualify for GS-11. Qualifying work includes managing equipment or vehicle fleets, advising on equipment and vehicle management, coordinating with vendors and engineers, and entering maintenance data in EBS and EMACS.

With education: A doctoral degree (Ph.D. or equivalent), 3 full years of graduate study toward one, or an LL.M. if related can count instead of experience. Education and experience can also be combined to reach the GS-11 requirement. The school must be accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accreditor.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume of two pages or less, saved as PDF or another accepted format
  • Resume showing work schedule, hours per week, employment dates, and duties
  • Transcript if you use education to qualify
  • Other supporting documents listed on the agency's Supporting Documents link

How you will be rated: Your application is first checked for basic eligibility, and those who meet the basic requirements go to the selecting official. Rule of Three, veterans' preference, and traditional rating and ranking do not apply, and errors or missing information can lower your rating or make you ineligible.

Tips for this job:

  • Keep your resume to two pages or less, because longer resumes are removed from consideration.
  • Show work schedule, hours per week, dates, and duties for each job on your resume.
  • If you use education to qualify, upload a transcript, which is required.
