Specialized
Experience:
For Mining Engineer:
In addition to meeting the basic requirements, I have one (1) year of specialized experience equivalent to GS-12 in the Federal service:
Specialized experience is further defined as (1) year of specialized experience, equivalent to at least the next lower grade level (GS-12) in the federal service. At this level, experience is referred to as working with solid minerals (locatable and saleable mineral programs), reviewing mine plans for technical soundness and for compliance with regulation, dealing with appeals and litigation, coordinating with other entities, etc. For Geologist:
In addition to meeting the basic requirements, I have one (1) year of specialized experience equivalent to GS-12 in the Federal service:
Specialized experience requires in addition to meeting the basic education requirement you must have one (1) year of specialized experience, equivalent to at least the next lower grade level (GS-12) in the federal service. At this level, geologists serve as senior technical experts performing work involving technical problems, methods, and data that are highly incomplete, controversial, or uncertain. Recommendations and conclusions are accepted as sound and work is reviewed only for meeting fiscal constraints, coordination with others and attainment of objectives. 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. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. You must meet all qualification requirements within 30 days of the closing date of the announcement. Federal employees in the competitive service are also subject to the Time-In-Grade requirement in accordance with 5 CFR 300.604. If you are a current Federal employee in the General Schedule (GS) pay plan and applying for a promotion opportunity, you must have completed a minimum of 52 weeks at the next lower grade level. Physical Demands:
The work is mostly sedentary, but field trips, tours, inspections, and meetings often require walking, climbing, and camping out. Work requires periods of concentration, after-hours preparation for staff and program guidance, and ability to deal effectively with several diverse issues concurrently. Work Environment:
Work is mainly performed in an office setting with occasional conferences or meetings scheduled elsewhere where other accommodations are used. However, there is some field work which will involve driving or walking over rough terrain with wide temperature variations ranging from below freezing to over 100 degrees F. Physiological and mental requirements of the work are demanding and stressful due to the controversial nature of the solid minerals issues/conflicts involved and the resolution of the complex issues/conflicts between BLM offices, State and Federal agencies, mineral industry interests and other affected interests. This announcement is being advertised concurrently under number NV-DEU-20-10951894-KK, which is open to all qualified persons. You must apply to each announcement separately if you wish to be considered under both recruitment methods.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
