Facilities Engineer - Civil - Entry to Experienced Level (MD)

The National Security Agency (NSA) currently has opportunities for highly motivated Civil Engineers who specialize in Water Resource, Transportation, or Structural Engineering. Our Civil Engineers solve complex mission driven facilities issues and are responsible for engineering services in the planning, design, construction, sustainment, and decommissioning life cycle of NSA facilities worldwide as part of a multi-discipline team. As a Civil Engineer at NSA, responsibilities may include: - Developing civil designs, construction plans and specifications, including design analysis, calculations, and cost estimates - Conducting field investigations or studies and writing reports - Performing Design Quality Control of in-house and A-E civil designs - Conducting inspections of projects under construction, reviewing construction submittals, answering Contractor's RFIs, and validating as-constructed drawings - Performing routine and periodic inspections of facilities and making recommendations - Attending and leading project meetings while projects are in the design phase - Coordinating among Customer, Architect, other design disciplines, O&M, and other stakeholders - Preparing Architecture-Engineer (A-E) or Design - Building statements of works, performance requirements, and cost estimates - Managing and leading A-E contractors hired to perform engineering services - Responding to operating facilities emergences, when engineering support is needed

As an Engineering and Physical Science professional, you will use your skills to create the systems and tools that will be used to enhance the operation of intelligence. You will advise, administer and perform scientific projects, such as planning, designing, and constructing specialized equipment, and ensuring adherence to sound engineering and scientific standards and principles. The NSA offers multiple areas of focus for facilities engineers, including computer, architectural, electrical, mechanical, and structural. In addition, we are seeking skills that include computer design, microelectronics, radio frequency design, and systems engineering. Apply your science and engineering skills to protect the nation.

FULL PERFORMANCE With a degree in Civil Engineering, entry is a Bachelor's degree plus 3 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree plus 1 year of relevant experience, or a Doctoral degree and no experience. Relevant experience must be working in a civil engineering capacity (e.g., storm water management, hydraulics, site development, transportation, geotechnical surveying, or structures), using Civil Engineering Design software and Auto CAD, and reading blue prints. Experience in project management, analyzing and troubleshooting civil engineering systems, sediment and erosion control measures and plans, and Engineering in Training (EIT) certification is preferred. SENIOR Entry is with a Bachelor's degree plus 6 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree plus 4 years of relevant experience, or a Doctoral degree plus 2 years of relevant experience. Relevant experience must be working in a civil engineering capacity (e.g., storm water management, hydraulics, site development, transportation, geotechnical surveying, or structures), using Civil Engineering Design software and Auto CAD, and reading blue prints. Experience in project management, analyzing and troubleshooting civil engineering systems, sediment and erosion control measures and plans, and Engineering in Training (EIT) certification is preferred.

The candidate should demonstrate the following general skills: - Problem Solving - Interpersonal Skills - Partnering - Customer Service - Accountability - Continual Learning - Resilience - Effective Communication Knowledge and skill in one or more of the three civil engineering specialties (Stormwater, Traffic, or Structural engineering) is preferred. Each are described below: 1) Water Resource Engineer Civil Engineers with water resource expertise ensure NSA facilities comply with State storm water requirements and best management practices. Civil engineers design unique storm water features and integrate these features into facilities projects. Civil Engineers with underground utility experience are also needed. Knowledge and experience in the following areas are desired: - Technical software packages (AutoCAD, Flowmaster, Civil 3D) - Maryland or other State Department of the Environment regulations - Storm water management - Sediment and Erosion Control measures and plans - Site Development and Utility Design - Technical standards (MDE, UFC, AWWA, MDSHA) 2) Transportation Engineer Civil Engineers with transportation expertise study the complex NSA campuses worldwide to design solutions that improve the flow of traffic and parking on NSA campuses. The traffic focused civil engineers will be expected to work with master planners and project managers to plan and implement solutions. Knowledge and experience in the following areas are desired: - Technical software packages (e.g. AutoCAD, AutoTurn, Synchro) - Site development/transportation planning systems - Vehicle and pedestrian circulation, including access control points - Traffic signals and signage - Parking - Pavement design - Technical standards (e.g. UFC, AASHTO, MDSHA) 3) Structural Engineer Civil Engineers with structural expertise ensure NSA facilities comply with building/structural code requirements and best practices. Civil engineers with structural focus are familiar with new building design, improvements to existing structures, building infrastructure support systems, material selection, construction inspection, loading analysis, and structural integrity of facilities. Knowledge and experience in the following areas are desired: - Technical software packages (e.g. AutoCAD, SAP 2000, ETABS, STAAD) - Structural analysis and design - Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection - Building renovation and restoration design - Foundation Analysis and Design - Technical Standards (e.g. UFC, IBC, ASCE, ACI, AISC, AISI, AWC) NOTE: When submitting your application please declare which Civil Engineering specialty you are interested in, either Water Resource, Transportation, or Structural. A copy of your unofficial transcript and corporate resume is highly encouraged to be submitted with your application and may expedite processing.
