Description

If you want to join a company committed to you and your success, invest your technical expertise with us as a FEMA Project Manager. Jacobs currently has a contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), known as the Public Assistance Technical Assistance Contract (PA TAC IV) to provide technical assistance support for FEMA disaster-related operations throughout the U.S. FEMA uses the PA TAC nationally to obtain Environmental Planners, Engineers, Construction Managers, Project Managers, Financial Analysts and other related professional services to assist state and local municipalities in developing grant applications for Federal Public Assistance funding for the repair of their infrastructure damaged by disasters (roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, water treatment facilities, etc.).

As a FEMA Construction Site Inspector, 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.

Special Note: 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.

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.
