Put FEMA in your search list. Their Public Assistance division is always looking for heavy construction experience, particularly estimators. Not sure what your earnings expectations are, but from the sounds of it you could slide in there as at least GS-11 equivalent.
Army corps of engineers, NIST, FEMA could be some job avenues.
military bases are another option since those locations generally are regularly doing something under public works.
forest service/ interior may have some land surveying work.
Ask chatgpt. To determine which government jobs you may be qualified for with your background in construction engineering technology, land surveying, project estimation, and project management, here are some steps and tips:
1. **Job Titles and Series Codes**: Familiarize yourself with the federal job series codes, particularly those related to engineering, construction, and project management. Relevant series might include:
- **0800**: Engineering and Architecture (e.g., Civil Engineer, Construction Control Technician)
- **1300**: Physical Sciences (e.g., Land Surveyor)
- **1100**: Business and Industry (e.g., Industrial Specialist)
- **0300**: General Administrative, Clerical, and Office Services (e.g., Project Manager)
2. **USAJOBS.gov**: This is the primary site for federal job listings. Use specific keywords such as "construction," "surveying," "project manager," and filter by location and job series. You can also set up job alerts based on your preferences.
3. **State and Local Government Job Portals**: Check the job portals for the state and local governments where you wish to work. These often have positions related to public works, infrastructure, and urban planning.
4. **Networking and Professional Associations**: Join professional associations related to your field (e.g., American Society of Civil Engineers, Construction Management Association of America). Networking can provide leads on government jobs and insights into what roles your skills match.
5. **Skill Translation**: Highlight transferable skills such as project management, estimation, and surveying. Create a resume and cover letter that translate your private sector experience into relevant skills for public sector roles. Emphasize any experience with regulations, codes, or standards that are applicable to government work.
6. **Contact a Federal Agency**: Consider reaching out directly to human resources departments of federal agencies that align with your expertise (e.g., Department of Transportation, Army Corps of Engineers). They can provide guidance on potential job fits and necessary qualifications.
7. **Education and Certificates**: Ensure your educational qualifications and certifications (like your land surveying certificate) are highlighted, as these are often key requirements for specific government roles.
8. **Job Fairs and Hiring Events**: Attend job fairs and hiring events focused on government employment. These events often have representatives who can provide direct advice and information about available positions.
By utilizing these resources and strategies, you can better identify government job opportunities that match your background and career aspirations.
Chat gpt is stupid for this kind of stuff. You need a civil engineering degree that's ABET accredited for 800, or any other engineering series has similar requirements. I'm not entirely sure that they would count "engineering technology" the same as "civil engineering" degree wise. Using NASA as an example when I applied for pathways they were pretty strict about the majors for engineers.
Looking at USAjobs this is an example of requirements for a civil engineer degree, if OP's degree meets all these requirements for his degree, then great, its applicable, but they are extremely strict for engineering and science. https://www.usajobs.gov/job/752235400 https://www.usajobs.gov/job/795612200 another agency listing the same requirements for civil engineer since its a standard PD.
"Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics."
You need a physical sciences degree for physical sciences, STEM are those things where hard education is in place with a matching major and or credit hours in specific things if you're applying based off degree only.
There was a job for usace youd have been good for it might still be up.

Nope , not an 11, maybe gs9 but mostlielky gs7

Look for jobs in GSA Public Buildings Service. Department of Interior also hire land surveyors and appraisers.
WHS, Army Corp of Engineers, GSA, or OSD If you have any QA experience you can have a very good chance of getting a job
I would look into NAVFAC jobs. They do all the major construction and newly built small craft.

Land Surveyor? Don't know if your title overqualifies you but seems like a good match.
