THE ROLE

Essential Healthcare Solutions, LLC, is supporting Pinnacle Solutions & Consulting Group, LLC (PSCG) on this Contract. PSCG is seeking experienced FEMA Program Delivery Managers to serve as the single applicant-facing manager under FEMA's Public Assistance Delivery Model. The PDMG guides applicants from the Exploratory Call and Recovery Scoping Meeting through the impact list, project formulation, CRC scoping and costing, final reviews, obligation, and the Recovery Transition Meeting. This is a hands-on, applicant-facing role; FEMA makes all eligibility and funding determinations.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead the Exploratory Call and Recovery Scoping Meeting (RSM); guide the applicant in developing and finalizing its impact list and Essential Elements of Information (EEI).
• Group applicant impacts into project applications; separate Category A–B emergency work early; formulate around the small/large project threshold.
• Coordinate site inspection, CRC scoping and costing, EHP, insurance, and Section 406 mitigation inputs; hand the CRC a complete, documented package.
• Apply quality control against PAPPG and documentation standards; remain the applicant's point of contact through applicant review, Recipient review, and obligation.
• Maintain status in FEMA Grants Manager; support the Recovery Transition Meeting; escalate policy questions appropriately.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Bachelor's degree and five or more years of experience in a related field, or ten or more years of related experience in lieu of a degree (meets the Attachment 1 floor for the Project Manager / Construction Manager labor categories).
• FEMA Public Assistance experience strongly preferred — direct experience as a FEMA PDMG (or legacy PA Crew Leader / PAC) or comparable applicant-facing PA role is a significant plus.
• Working knowledge of the PAPPG, the PA Delivery Model, 2 C.F.R. Part 200, and FEMA Grants Manager / Grants Portal (preferred).
• FEMA IS-1000 (Public Assistance Program) recommended; IS-1001, IS-1002, and IS-1018 a plus (or ability to complete).
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DHS/FEMA Public Trust.
• Ability to deploy on short notice for rotations set by FEMA and the task order (commonly 30–90 days, extendable), including U.S. territories and austere conditions.
• U.S. citizenship required for FEMA system access and badging (per DHS IT-access policy).

WHAT WE'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE

• Prior Joint Field Office (JFO) or Recovery Field Office experience.
• Experience across multiple declared disasters and Categories A–G.
• PMP; FEMA Qualification System (FQS) PDMG qualification or an open PDMG position task book.
• Prior FEMA PA-TAC experience.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive hourly Direct Labor rate commensurate with labor category and experience, with deployed uplift during OCONUS/territory rotations; billed hourly on a Time & Materials basis.
• Rapid activation from PSCG's ready bench when FEMA task orders are issued.
• A direct role performing mission-critical FEMA Public Assistance work on a national disaster-recovery contract with a growing SDVOSB.
• These are temporary, project-funded W-2 positions activated per task order; standard employee benefits (health, 401(k), professional-development budget) do not apply to temporary project hires.
