The United States Congress recently approved 190 new, permanent full-time (PFT) positions within FEMA as a part of a comprehensive workforce strategy for the agency.  The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has committed to advertise these positions for FEMA so that they may be filled by the end of this fiscal year.

The vacancies cover a range of preparedness activities and include jobs such as public assistance, individual assistance, telecommunications and geo-spatial communications, incident management assistance team, program manager, logistics, contract specialist, federal coordinating officer, federal processing officer, grant management, and administrative staff.  The 190 positions are easily identified by the “AN” prefix assigned to each job number.

Interested employees should apply to the announcements listed on the USAJOBs website.  Applicants are encouraged to follow the application procedures described by OPM in each vacancy announcement.  Please note that applications will not be directly  accepted by the FEMA Employment Office.
