Oakland, United States Federal Emergency Management Agency Full time

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this Environmental Protection Specialist position, you will serve as an Environmental Protection Specialist on the Environmental Team within the Region 9, Mitigation Division. You will be advising the Lead Biologist on how to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to the environment and comply with environmental planning and historic preservation responsibilities.

Typical assignments include:

Supporting environmental compliance reviews for the region, which has the most numbers of endangered species within the area of operations (AOR), cumulatively totaling 934 species.
Serving as a technical authority on environmental compliance reviews, managing and resolving projects with multiple stakeholders, and advising regional leadership.
Providing compliance advice for FEMA-funded activities related to Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) laws, regulations, and end executive orders, including, but not limited to the Endangered Species Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and Executive Orders 11898 (Floodplains), 11990 (Wetlands), and 12898 (Environmental Justice), and 13690 (Federal Flood Risk Management Standard).
Developing, reviewing, and finalizing consultation and agreement documents, standard operating procedures, and tools related to environmental and historic preservation compliance.
Ensuring that written products, correspondence, and reports are accurate, timely, and delivered to the appropriate audiences.
Supporting emergency response and recovery operations as an Environmental and Historic Preservation Manager.

What else do I need to know?

At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters, and every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management. Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.

This announcement is for a position as a CORE (Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employee). CORE employees are full-time employees hired to directly support the response and recovery efforts related to disasters. Appointments to CORE positions are typically between two years and four years in duration and may be renewed based upon workload needs and funding availability. Employees are hired under the Robert T. Stafford Act and are excluded from the provisions of title 5, United States Code, governing jobs in the competitive service. They can be hired under a streamlined process instead of a competitive process. After three years of continuous service, Stafford Act employees may be granted competitive eligibility to apply for permanent full-time positions at FEMA.

FEMA is committed to ensuring that its workforce reflects the diversity of the nation. At FEMA, our workforce includes the many identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, ages, cultures, and beliefs of the people we serve.
