2 weeks ago

Kansas City, United States Jacobs Full time

As a result of storms, flooding, and tornados across the Midwest, namely Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, FEMA is seeking support from CCPRS for a new Task Order to aid in recovery efforts under our PA TAC V contract. If you want to join a company committed to you and your success, invest your technical expertise with us and support FEMA on this new Task Order.

We’re seeking Administrative Support Specialists to deploy to Kansas City, Missouri and West Des Moines, Iowa to support FEMA in providing services to their applicants. You’ll help deliver the Public Assistance grant process (from applicant assignment to exit briefing) for applicants in the states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. As a part of the FEMA program, we’ll lean on you to support our technical professionals and aid in various or all phases of the Public Assistance grant delivery process. 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 provide reporting and management assistance for the overall efficiency of the disaster operation. We’ll rely on your expertise and attention to detail to ensure compliance with overall FEMA Public Assistance policies and procedures.

As an Administrative Support Specialist you’ll assist both FEMA and CCPRS with the administrative and staffing support of deployed technical specialists in the field; assist the FEMA Technical Monitor and other FEMA management with multiple duties and reports including the "in-processing" of deployed staff and "out-processing" of demobilized staff; be responsible for weekly reporting submissions on work performed by the contractor as requested by the FEMA Technical Monitor; provide weekly Labor/Over Time reports, requested by, and submitted to the Technical Monitor; and timesheet review for concurrence with hour caps that may change on a weekly basis due to overtime approval by the Technical Monitor.

Bring your technical expertise and passion for FEMA disaster recovery work, and we’ll empower you to restore and improve communities across these Midwest states.

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.
