I wonder what grade / step an Electrical Engineer III would fall into on the GS scale having 5 years experience.

Nope. But I have started Phase II. Stairs are in and the flooring is going down on the second floor. Phase III is electric and water service.

Yup, just watch your head stepping up to the second floor. May have to re-evaluate my stairs/landing/roof truss arrangement in the future, but since it is planned to be storage space, I am not too worried about it right now.

12/5 for an average one
13/2 for a good one

But it also depends on what their experience consisted of. We just hired one with 15 years experience at GS 11, the guy is kind of a looser.

Different Payscale altogether.

EE's have a modifed paytable.. not QUITE as good as a Computer Scientist However..

But EE right out of school start at GS 7 step 7, 8 or 9.. then add about 4 or 5 K to the table that was posted..


But recent grads are hired into conditional appointments with grade raises every year until they reach the working rate of GS 12, so would think an expereinced engineer would start at GS 12~

The modified payscales are actually only good for up to GS-11, after that you will start to get locality. I was shocked when I got a 10k raise from 11 to 12 when I was only expecting a 5k raise.....thats what the payscale told me.

Mine will last until 12, then there is only a $500 difference.. DAMN, then I'll be getting paid the same as a skanky Engineer??

Yea, the modified payscales exist purely to entice recent college grads. Go high enough up say GS 13 step 1 and every GS 13 step 1 in the same location makes the same amount regardless of their title or series.

Ed Szachary! I am a cartographer, and we in a special pay rate. However, like you said, once you get above an 11, all people in the same locality, that are the same grade and step (12/1, 13/5, 15/10, whatever) make the same amount.
