Disaster Recovery Grant Administrator – Reservist (On-Call)
When communities are impacted by hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, and other major disasters, recovery depends on more than rebuilding efforts. It requires strong financial stewardship, grants management, and compliance expertise to help ensure recovery funding is administered effectively and reaches the communities that need it most.
At ICF, our Disaster Management team partners with federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local governments to help communities recover and rebuild. We support disaster recovery programs that restore essential public services, strengthen infrastructure, and help communities navigate complex funding requirements following catastrophic events. We are seeking experienced Grant Administrators to join our On-Call Reservist team and support recovery efforts across the country.
This is a U.S.-based, on-call position that may require travel to client sites, field locations, and disaster recovery operations for multi-week assignments.
Why Join Our Reservist Team?
• Support communities during some of their most critical moments of recovery.
• Apply your expertise to meaningful, real-world challenges.
• Gain experience across a variety of disaster recovery programs and geographies.
• Work alongside experienced disaster recovery professionals committed to helping communities rebuild.
• Enjoy the flexibility of on-call employment while remaining connected to impactful work.
