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 Environmental Historic Preservation (EHP) Specialist. 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 EHP Specialist, you will support recovery efforts as it relates to Environmental Historic Preservation. You'll conduct site assessments and write damage descriptions and dimensions (DDD) and develop cost estimates for the Federal funding of the projects. You'll write Project Worksheets (PWs) for the purposes of determining project eligibility, defining scopes of work, and estimating costs to repair or replace a facility or structure in order to restore it to its pre-disaster design and capacity. 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 provide reporting and management assistance for the overall efficiency of the disaster operation. 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.
