This is the second job posting listing multiple consulting positions this week.
These two are with BDR, a division of SAIC, providing all-hazards mitigation, emergency preparedness planning, disaster response and recovery, and grant management/long term recovery services for public and private sector clients across the United States.
Preparedness Practice Manager This one is in Florida
Emergency Management Consultant / Business Development Lead This one is to work out of Houston, TX
The first two jobs I posted earlier this week were from John Weber, a former ICF International employee. These from SAIC came from Gisele Parry, also a former ICF International peer of mine when I was there. Today I think there are more "former" than "current" Emergency Management and Homeland Security Practice employees of ICF International and our old division.
One last note, Kathryn Humphrey, a former ICF International employee and I are teamed on a proposed project. Keep track of your contacts--they come in handy!

When it comes to "regional" it is always challenging. Coming together and starting is progress. Keeping all the players at the table, engaged, participating and not spinning off in all different directions is another matter.

This would be an exciting job for someone who is passionate about combining the work of government and the private sector, see Director, Private Sector Division
Really this is the work I'm undertaking with the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) and the Center for Regional Disaster Resilience Just on a smaller scale, working here in the Pacific Northwest, but with a cross-border function in working not just with our states, but with sister provinces in Canada.
Stay tuned for more information on that front.

The San Francisco has an opening for a Interoperability Project Manager
This is an Urban Area position in San Francisco, so don't go gaga over the salary. Money doesn't go as far in that fair city. This is a general coordination position for all the projects that are administered by an urban area. Yes, the position does require a working technical knowledge of public safety interoperable communications, including P25 radio systems. But really...it is the people and agencies that will give you trouble, not the equipment.

If you have been watching this blog on jobs in emergency management, there has been a number of new positions posted of late. Either the economy is getting better, there is more job turnover, or pure happenstance.
See this University of Connecticut Public Safety Division position for an Emergency Management Director
