As a FEMA Construction Manager, you’ll conduct preliminary damage assessments (PDAs) in the field with Federal, State and local officials. You’ll write Project Worksheets (PWs) for the purposes of determining project eligibility, scopes of work and estimating costs to repair or replace a facility or structure in order to restore it to its pre-disaster design. We’ll lean on you to provide technical, cost estimating, and disaster recovery and/or management services while supporting technical professionals. You’ll be a key member of the team in assisting project managers or engineers in major segments of moderate to complex projects or tasks, and independently conducting projects involving the design, development, construction or evaluation of restoring disaster locations. We’ll rely on your expertise in interpreting construction work to ensure compliance with contract drawings and specifications as well as FEMA Public Assistance policy and procedure.
For our FEMA client, qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens, able to clear Department of Homeland Security background check for security clearance level of “Public Trust”, and open to working 8-12 hours per day for 5-6 days per week. You’ll potentially deploy to the field in remote disaster conditions, and most of the job responsibilities will be conducted in a FEMA office. Due to the nature of this type of unpredictable work, you must also have the ability to mobilize within 24-48 hours if ever needed to deploy, commit to up to 6 months or longer on a disaster deployment, and be flexible for contingent type of project work.
Please Note: This is an hourly paid position and is non-exempt.
