CIVIL/STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PURPOSE The primary purpose of the Technical Qualification Program (TQP) is to ensure employees have the requisite technical competency to support the mission of the Department. The TQP forms the basis for the development and assignment of DOE personnel responsible for ensuring the safe operation of defense nuclear facilities. The technical qualification standards are not intended to replace the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) qualifications standards or other departmental personnel standards, rules, plans, or processes. However, the technical qualification standards should form the primary basis for developing vacancy announcements, qualification requirements, crediting plans, interview questions, and other criteria associated with the recruitment, selection, and internal placement of technical personnel. APPLICABILITY The Civil/Structural Engineering Functional Area Qualification Standard (FAQS) establishes common functional area competency requirements for all DOE Civil/Structural Engineering personnel who provide assistance, direction, guidance, oversight, or evaluation of contractor technical activities that could impact the safe operation of DOE’s defense nuclear facilities. This technical FAQS has been developed as a tool to assist DOE program and field offices in the development and implementation of the TQP in their organization. For ease of transportability of qualifications between DOE elements, program and field offices must use this technical FAQS without modification. Satisfactory and documented attainment of the competency requirements contained in this technical FAQS ensures personnel possess the minimum requisite competence to fulfill functional area duties and responsibilities common to the DOE complex. Additionally, needed office-/site-/facility-specific qualification standards, handled separately, supplement this technical FAQS and establish unique operational competency requirements at the Headquarters or field element, site, or facility level. It should be noted that the competencies of management and leadership, general technical knowledge, regulations, administrative capability, and assessment and oversight are embodied in the competencies in this standard. All these factors have a bearing on safety. Although the focus of this standard is technical competence, competencies such as good communication, recognized credibility, ability to listen and process information, and the ability to guide quality work efforts are recognized as important aspects of safety. IMPLEMENTATION This FAQS identifies the minimum technical competency requirements for DOE personnel. Although there are other competency requirements associated with these positions, this FAQS identifies the specific, common technical competencies required throughout all defense nuclear facilities for civil/structural engineering personnel. DOE-STD-1182-2014 2 The term “must” denotes a mandatory requirement, “should” denotes a recommended practice that is not required, and “may” denotes an option in this standard. The competencies identify various levels of knowledge; or they require the individual to demonstrate the ability to perform a task or activity. These levels are defined as follows:  Familiarity level is basic knowledge of or exposure to the subject or process adequate to discuss the subject or process with individuals of greater knowledge.

 Working level is knowledge required to monitor and assess operations/activities, to apply standards of acceptable performance, and to recognize the need to seek and obtain appropriate expert advice (e.g., technical, legal, safety) or consult appropriate reference materials required to ensure the safety of DOE activities.  Demonstrate the ability is the actual performance of a task or activity in accordance with policy, procedures, guidelines, and/or accepted industry or DOE practices. Headquarters and field elements must establish a program and process to ensure DOE personnel possess the competencies required by their position, including the competencies identified in this technical FAQS. Documentation of the completion of the requirements in this standard must be included in the employees’ training and qualification records. Satisfactory attainment of competency requirements contained in this technical FAQS may be documented using the example Civil/Structural Engineering FAQS qualification card from the Federal Technical Capability Program Directives and Standards page, http://www.energy.gov/ehss/services/nuclear-safety/department-energy-technical-standards- program. Equivalencies should be used sparingly and with the utmost rigor and scrutiny to maintain the spirit and intent of the TQP. Equivalencies may be granted for individual competencies based on objective evidence of previous education, training, certification, or experience. Objective evidence includes a combination of transcripts, certifications, and in some cases, a knowledge sampling obtained through written and/or oral examinations. Equivalencies must be granted in accordance with the TQP plan of the site/office/Headquarters organization qualifying the individual. Supporting knowledge and/or skill statements should, and mandatory performance activities must, be considered before granting an equivalency for a competency. Training must be provided to employees in the TQP who do not meet competencies contained in this technical FAQS. Training may include, but is not limited to, formal classroom and computer-based courses, self-study, mentoring, on-the-job training, and special assignments. Departmental training must be based on appropriate supporting knowledge and/or skill statements similar to those listed for each competency requirement. Headquarters and field elements should use the supporting knowledge and/or skill statements as a basis for evaluating the content of any training. EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS Attainment of competencies listed in this technical FAQS must be documented in accordance with the TQP plan or policy of the site/office/Headquarters organization qualifying the individual and the requirements in DOE M 360.1-1B, Federal Employee Training Manual, and DOE O 426.1, Federal Technical Capability. http://www.energy.gov/ehss/services/nuclear-safety/department-energy-technical-standards-program http://www.energy.gov/ehss/services/nuclear-safety/department-energy-technical-standards-program DOE-STD-1182-2014 3 The qualifying official or immediate supervisor should ensure the candidate meets the background and experience requirements of this FAQS. If the immediate supervisor is not qualified in this functional area, the supervisor should consult with a qualified individual prior to using one or a combination of the following individual competency evaluation methods:  Satisfactory completion of a written examination  Satisfactory completion of an oral examination

 Satisfactory accomplishment of an observed task or activity directly related to a competency  Documented evaluation of equivalencies (e.g., applicable experience in the field) without a written examination Field element managers/Headquarters program managers must qualify candidates as possessing the basic technical knowledge, technical discipline competency, and position- specific knowledge, skills, and abilities required for their positions. Final qualification of candidates must be performed using one or a combination of the following methods:  Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive written examination with a minimum passing grade of 80 percent.  Satisfactory completion of an oral examination by a qualified Senior Technical Safety Manager (STSM) or a qualification board of technically qualified personnel that includes at least one qualified STSM.  Satisfactory completion of a walkthrough of a facility with a qualifying official for the purpose of verifying a candidate’s knowledge and practical skills of selected key elements. Guidance for oral interviews and written exams is contained in DOE-HDBK-1205-97, Guide to Good Practices for the Design, Development, and Implementation of Examinations, and DOE- HDBK-1080-97, Guide to Good Practices for Oral Examinations. For oral examinations and walkthroughs, qualifying officials or board members should ask critical questions intended to integrate identified learning objectives during qualification. Field element managers/Headquarters program managers or designees must develop formal guidance for oral examinations and walkthroughs that includes:  Standards for qualification  Use of technical advisors by a board  Questioning procedures or protocol  Pass/fail criteria  Board deliberations and voting authorization procedures  Documentation process DOE-STD-1182-2014 4 INITIAL QUALIFICATION AND TRAINING Qualification of civil/structural engineering personnel must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of DOE O 426.1, Chg. 1, Federal Technical Capability.
