OPM series 0810. Civil engineers who plan, design, build, and maintain structures and public works such as roads, bridges, dams, buildings, and water systems.
Federal civil engineering leans toward dams, levees, locks, flood-control works, airports and military facilities as much as highways and water systems. Specialties within the series include structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, highway and construction engineering, and many announcements are “interdisciplinary”, meaning they can be filled by a civil, mechanical or electrical engineer.
Recent listings have included civil engineers and supervisory civil engineers at the Army Corps of Engineers, highway and project engineers at the Federal Highway Administration, structural and geotechnical engineers at the Bureau of Reclamation, and civil engineers at the FAA, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A noticeable share carried “Direct Hire” in the title.
Applying tip: the 0800 basic requirement is a professional engineering degree from an accredited program, with alternatives such as passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam or holding a PE license; announcements add specialized experience by grade. Name your degree, accreditation and license explicitly. The engineering guide covers which agencies post remote and telework-eligible engineering jobs.
