Inspector

You must meet all qualifications and eligibility requirements by the closing date (10/28/2024) of this 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 SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS: GS-12: A qualified candidate’s online application and resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized Inspector experience equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or equivalent pay band in the Federal service conducting field work in inspections of programs, organizations, management systems, and activities.
