AFPC189458YD-0808-02/03-CE
Architect
QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:
Basic Requirements:
A. Degree: architecture; or related field that included 60 semester hours of course work in architecture or related disciplines of which at least (1) 30
semester hours were in architectural design, and (2) 6 semester hours were in each of the following: structural technology, properties of materials and methods of construction, and environmental control systems.
OR
B. Combination of education and experience--college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the arts and sciences underlying professional architecture, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the architectural principles, methods, and techniques and their applications to the design and construction or improvement of buildings.The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by at least one of the following:
1.RELATED CURRICULUM:Degree in architectural engineering may be accepted as satisfying in full the basic requirements, provided the
completed course work in architectural engineering provided knowledge, skills, and abilities substantially equivalent to those provided in the courses specified in paragraph A.The curriculum for a degree in either architecture or architectural engineering covers function, esthetics, site, structure,
economics, mechanical-electrical, and other engineering problems related to the design and construction of buildings primarily (but not exclusively)
intended to house human activities.The courses required for a degree in architecture generally place emphasis upon planning, esthetics, and
materials and methods of construction, while the courses for an architectural engineering degree place equal or greater weight on the technical engineering aspects such as structural systems, mechanical systems, and the properties of materials.Because of this difference in emphasis, persons with degrees in architecture may have a preference for work assignments that offer greater opportunities for them to express their artistic and creative abilities.As a result, they may be more concerned with planning and design aspects of architecture, and persons with degrees in architectural engineering may be more engaged in aspects emphasizing technical engineering considerations.
2.EXPERIENCE:An applicant lacking a degree in architecture must have had 1 year of experience in an architect's office or in architectural work
for each year short of graduation from a program of study in architecture. In the absence of college courses, 5 years of such experience is required.
This experience must have been demonstrated that the applicant has acquired a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles and theories of professional architecture.
NONQUALIFYING EXPERIENCE:The following kinds of experience are not acceptable as professional architectural experience: professional landscape architecture work consisting mainly of the layout, design, construction, or maintenance of land areas and landscape features, including ground and water forms, vegetation, roads, walks, incidental structures, and other landscape features; experience in the application of artistic embellishment to practical design such as the decoration of interiors, including the construction, layout, and selection of furniture and furnishings that do not alter the basic architectural design of the interior; city and community planning work that relates to the broad social and economic growth and development of such community services and facilities as industry, commerce, transportation, streets, utilities, and parks.
AND
In addition to the basic requirements, applicants must meet the following NSPS QUALIFICATIONS:Applicants must possess one year of specialized experience at the next lower qualifying pay band or equivalent under the General Schedule (GS) or other pay systems.Equivalent experience may be at the level of the lowest GS grade covered by the applicable pay band; however, the experience must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA's) to successfully perform the duties of the position filled.Examples of creditable specialized experience include:Professional knowledge of comprehensive planning concepts, standards, methods, practices, techniques, materials, and tools.Ability to plan, conduct, and record site/facilities surveys, inspections, and coordinate with other engineering disciplines, local communities, andother multi-level government organizations. Inspections may be conducted in "hard-hat" areas and may require significant walking, bending, climbing and stooping. Some worksites may involve exposure to environmental hazards. Skill in preparing community planning concepts and ability to convey ideas and formulate working drawings using CADD, GIS and project management/scheduling software programs such as MS Project and Primavera.
Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:
1.Knowledge of comprehensive planning concepts, standards, methods, practices, techniques, materials, and tools.
2.Knowledge of planning, programming and budgeting cycles, financial systems and restrictions on the expenditures of funds.
3.Knowledge of standard contracting regulations, practices, and procedures.
4.Knowledge of economic and business analysis principles, theories, concepts, and techniques (e.g. engineering and economic analysis, life cyclecost analysis, etc.).
5.Ability to plan, conduct, and record site/facilities surveys, inspections, and coordinate with other engineering disciplines, local communities, andother multi-level government organizations. Inspections may be conducted in "hard-hat" areas and may require significant walking, bending, climbing and stooping. Some worksites may involve exposure to environmental hazards.
6.Skill in preparing community planning concepts and ability to convey ideas and formulate working drawings using CADD, GIS and project management/scheduling software programs such as MS Project and Primavera.
Status candidates must meet time in grade requirements (52 weeks at the next lower grade level.)
PART-TIME OR UNPAID EXPERIENCE: Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid work on the same basis as for paid experience. Part-time experience will be credited on the basis of time actually spent in appropriate activities. To receive credit for such experience you must indicate clearly the nature of the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the number of hours per week spent in such employment.
