• Federal Reporting: Lead the preparation and submission of Semi-Annual Progress Reports (SAPR) and maintain the EPA Form 5900-721 (ZE Technology Reporting Template).
• Technical Verification: Execute and document "Scrappage Verification"—the mandatory process of proving the permanent destruction of legacy diesel engines through detailed photographic and narrative evidence as required by the CAQP/ZETD awards.
• Audit Readiness: Manage the project’s digital "Paper Trail" using ArcGIS Hub or similar Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) to ensure all documentation is centralized and audit-ready at a moment's notice.

Required Qualifications

• NYC/NYS/NJ Public Agency Experience Required
• PANYNJ/DOT/MTA Preferred
• Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of professional experience in federal grant compliance, contract administration, or forensic accounting.
• Education: Degree in Accounting, Law, or Business Administration, with a specialized focus on Federal Grants Management.

• Proficiency in ArcGIS Hub for data management and reporting.
• Attention to Detail: Proven ability to manage complex documentation for multi-million dollar federal awards where precision is non-negotiable.
