Atlanta, Georgia, United States Department Of Homeland Security Full time
Summary

The ideal candidate processes transportation requests and ensures preparation of documents for appropriate agencies in deployment, recovery, and reconstitution/cross-leveling operations to identify and ensure destination and accountability.



Duties

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this Transportation Specialist position, you will serve as a staff transportation action officer by performing a variety of individual assignments in the form of broad policy guidance in support of overall mission objectives.

Typical assignments include:

  • Providing technical advice and assistance to the Logistics Management Directorate staff and appropriate staff

    members of DHS-FEMA on all matters associated with management and operation of transportation.
  • Reviewing new/proposed transportation policies and procedures, as well as changes to existing regulations and their relationship to manpower and funding.

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.
