24 hours
Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
Degree: physical science, engineering, or mathematics that included 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science such as mechanics, dynamics, properties of materials, and electronics.
Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor’s degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.)
Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A.
Combination of education and experience: Courses equivalent to a major, as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or additional education.
A. Degree: 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.
B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: 1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1, or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
Degree: biological sciences, agriculture, natural resource management, chemistry, or related disciplines appropriate to the position.
Combination of education and experience -- education equivalent to one of the majors shown in A above that included at least 24 semester hours in physical science and/or related engineering science, plus appropriate experience or additional education.

Company
Overview
1775
Year Established
The organization traces its origins to the American Revolutionary War era.
130+
Countries Operated In
The organization has conducted projects and operations across more than 130 countries, showcasing its global reach.
Born from military roots, this engineering corps has evolved into a global powerhouse tackling complex civil and defense projects.
Operates as a major Army command providing design, construction management, and research—with projects spanning waterways, flood control, military bases, and environmental cleanup.
Finances flow through federal appropriations, supporting large-scale infrastructure and disaster-response work while energizing the economy via waterway dredging and recreation facilities.
Has delivered iconic structures—from dams and locks to air bases and overseas schools—while pioneering algorithms for cold-region route planning.
Specializes in water‑resources engineering and military facility construction.
Combines lab-based research with field operations: its ERDC labs innovate in hydraulics, geotech, structural engineering, and environmental science.
Stands out through dual civil‑military roles: combat engineers build bridges and clear routes, while civilians restore ecosystems and manage storm‑damage reduction.
Runs the U.S.’s largest federal environmental cleanup program, with efforts from the Everglades to former military sites.
Culture + Values
40-hour week
Work Schedule
Projects are structured assuming a 40-hour workweek with limited overtime expectations.
Flexible schedule with core hours typically 9 AM–3 PM; supervisors accommodate leave and encourage work–life balance.
Frequent voluntary social events (holiday parties, potlucks, picnics, sports/golf groups) with no mandatory ‘team building’.
Positive, cooperative environment where job security fosters peer teaching and collaboration.
Qualities valued: positive attitude, teamwork, self‑motivation, willingness to learn and share knowledge.
