It's a great feeling to work for a company that does so much good for others around the world!

Education Req: Four-year bachelor’s degree in emergency management, Homeland Security, Public Administration or related field preferred, but not required.

• IS-200.b ICS for Single Resources
• IS-700.b National Incident Management System

* Proof of course completion for each course above will be required for consideration.

Summary: National EMR consistently seeks talented and hard-working individuals who are eager to assist impacted communities and first responders on an “as needed basis” as reservist employees. Reservists (YOU) are part of an elite, all-hazards response cadre who are available to work intermittently, commit to working when needed, and travel/deploy within 24-48 hours. The cadre plays a key role in keeping National EMR ready to deploy the right people in the right jobs quickly in an emergency management situation. These situations could include hurricane responses, mass shooting(s), wildfire responses, and more. As a company we have responded to every major US incident that has occurred in the last 25 years. We are proud of our record and reputation but recognize we can’t do this without our reservists. Reservists are often retired local, state, or federal civil service employees who consider this line of work as a movement or a calling. Is this your calling? Are you ready to serve?

This is NOT a full-time job. Reservists may be deployed to fulfill any role specifically related to the incident, and deployment roles will be based on reservists’ skills, performance, and experience. National EMR does not guarantee length or frequency of deployments. You will be paid for the actual number of hours worked. Pay scales are based on the job classification as determined by National EMR.

National EMR was built on the premise of filling gaps and serving those with the greatest needs in a disaster. National EMR has spent most of our time in the emergency support functions (ESF) of mass care, emergency assistance, housing, human services, public health, and medical services as our core mission areas. Reservists are responsible for maintaining personal readiness and your “active/eligible” status. Reservists will be entering into a fast-paced, ever-shifting, high-pressure environment. You are expected to perform well, make informed decisions, and be prepared to work nights, weekends, and holidays.

To successfully perform the essential functions of a reservist, the employee may be expected to perform the following, with or without reasonable accommodations, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Responsibilities and Duties:
Reservists may be assigned to any role within an emergency response under the Incident Command System
(ICS) structure. Duties include, but are not limited to:

1. Understand and adhere to the National EMR Policies and Procedures Manual, Uniform Handbook, and Operations Manual.
2. Maintain personal readiness to deploy within 6–12 hours of activation, including updated availability in National EMR’s mobile application.
3. Complete agency-directed training through the learning management system, including Just-In-Time (JIT) training and mission-specific modules.
4. Promote a culture of safety by identifying hazards, reporting safety concerns immediately, and following established safety protocols.
5. Foster a culture that encourages team members to work safely, identify potential hazards, and report safety concerns immediately to their direct chain of command.
6. Maintain active status within the agency’s platforms, including learning management systems to complete training that may be directed toward self-improvement, mission-specifics, or Just-In-Time (JIT) training.
7. Participate in, assist, or supervise a workforce that will conduct disaster preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives as needed.
8. Be receptive and flexible to serve in any position when responding to critical circumstances which may have obstacles and/or challenges that need to be overcome.
9. Be able to solve day-to-day operational issues and reach short-term performance goals.
10. Support survivors and communities during disasters by being readily available to assist at a moment’s notice.
11. Maintain personal readiness to deploy within 6-12 hours of activation.
12. Update upcoming availability within the National EMR’s mobile application by the 27th of each month to respond when needed.
13. Other duties as assigned.

Requirements:
1. Must maintain deployable status and the physical/mental readiness to work in emergency environments on short notice.
2. Adhere to high standards of professional integrity and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and workplace expectations.
3. Provide proof of valid driver’s license and driving record in good standing with no restrictions (subject to review annually).
4. Successfully pass a background check and drug screening (pre-deployment or random).
5. Demonstrate the ability to:
a. Work collaboratively across disciplines and communicate effectively (verbal and written).
b. Respond sensitively to diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and community needs.
c. Navigate high-stress environments with sound judgment and composure.
d. Operate independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team with limited supervision.
e. Use Microsoft Office and communication tools (radio, satellite phone, mobile apps).
f. Respond sensitively and competently to the service population’s cultural and socio-economic characteristics.
g. Maintain professional skills, including strong interpersonal and non-verbal communication.

6. Must be capable of maintaining physical endurance and focus during extended operations (12-hour shifts, nights, weekends, holidays).
