QualificationsApplicants for the Geology (1350 series) must meet the following
basic requirements of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
Qualifications Standards Manual:You have successfully completed a degree in geology, plus 20
additional semester hours in any combination of mathematics,
physics, chemistry, biological science, structural, chemical, civil,
mining or petroleum engineering, computer science, planetary
geology, comparative planetology, geophysics, meteorology,
hydrology, oceanography, physical geography, marine geology, and
cartography.ORYou have successfully completed a combination of education and
experience course work as shown in A above, plus appropriate
experience or additional education. (Note: Acceptable experience may
have been gained through geological field or laboratory work that
provided a means of obtaining professional knowledge of the theory
and application of the principles of geology and closely related
sciences, e.g., geophysics, geochemistry, or hydrology. Such work
generally must have involved making close observations, taking
samples, handling various types of instruments and equipment,
assembling geologic data from source materials, and analyzing and
reporting findings orally and in writing. Experience that involved
only one phase of geology work, e.g., collecting samples, would not
be acceptable as providing the required professional knowledge of
the theory and principles of geology. In some situations,
professional scientific experience in other fields may be accepted
in part as professional geological experience. Such experience must
have been preceded by appropriate education in geology or by
professional geological experience, and must have contributed
directly and significantly to the applicant's professional
geological competence. Examples include some positions in
geophysics, mining engineering, soils science, physical
oceanography, hydrology, climatology, biology, analytic or
experimental chemistry, metallurgy, and comparable fields where the
normal duties or results of investigations have been extended to the
solution of geologic problems by the applicant. Ordinary functions
of positions such as seismic, computer, petroleum or mining
engineer, mine superintendent, or metallurgist generally are not
considered professional geological experience. To receive credit for
geological experience obtained in positions that are not full-time
professional geological positions, the applicant is responsible for
indicating clearly the actual time or percentage of time devoted to
geologic duties within such positions, and for giving adequate
descriptions of the geologic functions.)In addition to the Basic Requirements for the series in which you
are applying, your resume must demonstrate at least one year of
specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level
or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the
private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate
the following:1) Recommending improvements and solving problems for Range
Sustainment projects or projects involving Munitions and Explosives
of Concern (MEC) and Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive
Hazard (MPPEH);
2) Ensuring adherence to all Federal, State and local laws and
regulations, and DOD instructions, policies and guidelines
pertaining to collection, transportation, treatment, disposal,
reports, manifests, and permits of unexploded ordnance/munitions and
explosives of concern; and
3) Reviewing and understanding construction plans and
specifications, basis for designs, design calculations, and studies
for a wide variety of projects which involve ranges, facilities that
store, treat, generate, or dispose of ordnance/munitions and
explosives of concern.NOTE: This experience must be fully and clearly supported in
your resume.Additional qualification information can be found from the following
