Qualifications

To qualify for a IT Specialist (INFOSEC/SYSADMIN)), your resume and supporting documentation must support:

A. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to successfully perform the duties of the position and is directly in or related to this position. To qualify at the GS-13 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. Creditable specialized experience includes:

Experience designing, integrating, and managing complex telecommunications systems including SATCOM (Ku-band), HF/VHF/UHF radio networks, RF-over-fiber architectures, and multi-path high-availability transport networks (99.999% uptime).
Experience providing full-spectrum IT systems administration-desktops, laptops, VoIP, VTC, network equipment, system configuration, and executive-level technical support-while ensuring operational readiness of IT and communications systems supporting continuity operations, contingency missions, or high-visibility executive environments.
Experience developing and implementing long-range telecommunications strategies, continuity communications plans, enterprise architecture designs, bandwidth/gap analyses, system acquisition documentation, and lifecycle sustainment plans.

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.

The incumbent will be designated Non-Combat Essential (NCE). In the event of a crisis, the incumbent may be required to deploy, within CONUS only, via temporary reassignment or be required to stay in place to support contingency operations. The incumbent may be required to take part in readiness exercises.

An NCE employee could be deployed to support emergency operations, humanitarian missions, disaster relief, or other expeditionary missions in the continental United States that are not considered "combat" locations. Deployment will be via Temporary Duty (TDY) orders. Deployment may entitle the employee to additional monetary compensation dependent upon the deployment location.

Education

Substitution of education may not be used in lieu of specialized experience for this grade level.
