Telecommunications Manager

All qualifications must be met by the closing date of this announcement-11/08/2024-unless otherwise stated in this vacancy announcement. Credit will be given for all appropriate qualifying experience. For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 for each federal position listed as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of qualifying experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience. For all other applicants who are not current federal employees, 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 qualify for this position at the GS-11 grade level, you must possess at least one of the following minimum qualifications by close of the announcement: EXPERIENCE: At least one full year of specialized experience comparable in scope and responsibility to the GS-9 grade level in the Federal service (obtained in either the public or private sectors). This experience includes activities such as: supervising dispatch communication projects, assignments, events and work methods; oversight in the operation of complex Radio System; operating law enforcement information systems such as: Computer-Aided-Dispatching system, Multi-function Telephone System including E911, Dispatch Recording Devices and Emergency Backup Power Systems, public safety operations to include NCIC, NLETS, and state systems, and Emergency Medical dispatching; transmit and receive law enforcement communications traffic; coordinating emergency response efforts; maintaining logs and files of complaints, police actions, and reports. The work is performed independently with little or no supervision. You must include hours per week worked. -OR- EDUCATION: Successful completion of at least a Ph.D. degree or equivalent Doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher-level graduate education leading to such a degree or LL.M., if related. Major study — electrical or electronic engineering, mathematics, physics, public utilities, statistics, computer science, telecommunications management, information systems management, business administration, industrial management, or other fields related to the position. NOTE: YOU MUST SUBMIT COPIES OF YOUR TRANSCRIPTS. -OR- Successful completion of a combination of education and experience as described above. The total must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. Example: The applicant meets 75 percent of the required experience and 50 percent of the required education, i.e., the applicant has 1/2 year of graduate study beyond that required for GS-9. Therefore, the applicant exceeds the total requirement and is qualified for the position. NOTE: YOU MUST SUBMIT COPIES OF YOUR TRANSCRIPTS (The first 2 years of graduate study are not qualifying for GS-11.) 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. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
