These positions are located within the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Denver, LAKEWOOD, COLORADO. Duties Some of the major duties you will perform include but are not limited to the following: Plans, develops, directs, and prepares procedures, policies, and protocols for engineering studies, designs, and special projects that require advanced engineering analysis. Leads and advises technical teams, directing technical procedures and practices for the teams. Engineering analysis for studies and projects include technical planning activities; data collection; modeling and data analyses; analyses of site location and/or conditions; or risk estimation and analyses. Provides technical reviews, peer reviews, and checking of designs, drawings, engineering analysis, and technical documents, specifications, and contract correspondence, ensuring documents are accurate and quality assurance processes were followed. Lead technical team on large and technically complex projects, guide the critical path of a job, prepare project management initiation, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closeout documents, and facilitate meetings/workshops. Applying qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques and project management principles, methods, tools, and techniques to direct, develop, schedule, coordinate, monitor, and manage projects. Distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information to make logical decisions and develop solutions and communicating effectively with all levels and types of audiences. Advises senior leadership, program officials, and colleagues on engineering analysis, recommendations, and study conclusions. Communicate in a clear, concise, organized, and convincing manner of technical information for the intended audience. Organize and prepare, or direct and coordinate the preparation of, materials such as specifications documents, reports, meeting minutes, travel reports, drawings, maps, graphs, or figures; deliver oral presentations or briefings; and participate in or lead meetings

• to communicate, promote TSC capabilities, and convey work status and findings to team, clients, superiors, and others. Qualifications Qualifications: All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-10/15/2026-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. To receive credit for experience, your resume MUST state either "full-time" (or "40 hours a week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience. Failure to adequately provide information needed to determine number of hours worked in each position may result in that time not being credited when evaluating qualifying experience. For periods of time that reflect military service, the DD-214 or Statement of Service is sufficient to meet the full and/or part-time hours requirement as the service dates will be reflected. To be eligible for consideration, you must first meet the Individual Occupational Requirement for this position

Qualifications for

GS-0810, CIVIL ENGINEER: 1. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. -OR- 2. Combination of education and experience: college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: 1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. 2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) 2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. 3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph 1. 4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) To qualify for this position at the GS-13 grade level: Experience: To qualify, you must possess at least one full year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). Specialized experience is defined as demonstrated experience: Planning, organizing, and managing complex engineering projects, including scope and schedule development, risk identification, and ensuring timely, high-quality deliverables. Reviewing or overseeing technical products (such as designs, analyses, reports, or studies) to ensure accuracy, adequacy, and compliance with standards. Applying professional engineering and science related knowledge relevant to civil engineering in support of water storage and conveyance, water treatment, hydropower, pumping plant, or related technical systems. Volunteer Experience: Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.
