This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-09).
OR
Education: Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position, such as: engineering, engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, geology or other related field of study.
OR
Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12.

Minimum Qualifications for the GS-12:
Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes working on structural engineering designs for military or commercial projects and/or water resources projects (including dams and related structures. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-11).
