About The Position

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. We are excited to announce CCPRS won the next 5-year contract for Public Assistance Technical Assistance Contractors - PA TAC V in the West Zone! The West Zone includes Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, Arizona, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. If you want to join a company committed to you and your success, invest your technical expertise with us as a FEMA Construct Site Inspector. Through CCPRS, Jacobs is looking for you 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 and public entities in developing grant applications for Federal Public Assistance funding for the repair of their infrastructure/facilities damaged by disasters (roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, water treatment facilities, parks 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.
