ABOUT THE POSITION
The Clark County Fire Department's Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security is seeking qualified candidates to apply for an Administrative Specialist position. As a member of our team, this position will be responsible for emergency management functions, including developing hazard mapping and public warning coordination during emergencies, and conducting required testing of technology systems to ensure the preparedness of the community and response teams to respond to disasters. This position will assist with emergency plan updates and make recommendations for improvements to written material and software used by the Emergency Management Office. The ideal candidate will have experience in ESRI GIS mapping, integration of data for informed decision making, and measuring preparedness through personnel tracking, training, and evaluation as described in policies or Statutes.
Typical working hours are Monday through Thursday. However, activation as a member of the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) /Multi-Agency Coordination Center (MACC) may be necessary in the event of a large scale preplanned special event or an emergency. This may serve to disrupt/alter/revise or totally change all previously established work performance standards, requiring 100% of the time, until the event or emergency is over or until such time as the Emergency Manager demobilizes the functions of the EOC/MACC. Although rare, this also has the potential to require your schedule to flex and to be temporarily assigned to alternative shifts such as nights/weekends and holidays.
