Your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: 1) Operating Category 1 floating and all-terrain hydraulic boom cranes (up to 120 tons) to perform critical and precision lifts of submerged loads, ship structures, radioactive components, and weaponry; 2) Lifting large, geometrically complex heavy loads from trailers, barges, or railroad cars, which may require coordinating more than one crane operating near maximum capacity; 3) Operating Category 2 and 3 cranes to make precise load placements in complex and adverse conditions where exact movements are necessary; 4) Operating other heavy equipment, including front-end loaders, backhoes, street sweepers, and snow removal equipment, in support of public works maintenance projects; and 5) Performing routine operator maintenance on heavy equipment, such as cleaning, fueling, oiling, lubricating working parts, and replacing wire rope to keep equipment in a safe and clean condition.
