3.4.2 Experience and Education Level Definitions.

JUNIOR: A Junior level person within a labor category generally has less than 3 years’ experience and a BA/BS degree (or a qualifying substitution as identified in this paragraph). However, experience may exceed 3 years if performing a junior level function. A Junior level person is responsible for assisting more senior positions and/or performing functional duties under the oversight of more senior positions.

JOURNEYMAN: A Journeyman within a labor category has 3 to 10 years of experience and a BA/BS degree. A

Journeyman level person typically performs all functional duties independently.

SENIOR: A Senior level person within a labor category has over 10 years of experience and a MA/MS degree. A

Senior level person typically works on high-visibility or mission critical aspects of a given program and performs all functional duties independently. A Senior level person may oversee the efforts of less senior staff and/or be responsible for the efforts of all staff assigned to a specific job.

The following qualification substitution chart provides standard experience/education substitutions and applies

ONLY to the Professional Labor Category as listed above in Table 1. Certain Professional Labor categories cannot substitute experience for a Bachelor’s degree, such as Engineering.

Table 2

Master’s Degree Bachelor’s Degree plus 4 years’ additional work experience related to the applicable labor category’s required experience may be substituted for a Master’s Degree

Example #1: A Senior Systems

Analyst with 12 years of experience uses 4 of those years along with her

Bachelor’s Degree; this substitution equates to a Master’ Degree and 8 years of experience.

Bachelor’s Degree 6 years…
