Associate Project Manager Development Program

****This opportunity is for those who are looking to enter a formal Project Manager Development Program****
Are you interested in pursuing a career in the field of Disaster Recovery/Emergency Management? Are you interested in being part of a project management development program with an industry leader?
Tidal Basin Government Consulting (TBGC) is an emergency management industry leader specializing in Disaster Response, Recovery, Mitigation, Preparedness, and Grants management, and has created a Project Management Development Program. This program was designed to mentor and develop recently graduated college students and/or those individuals seeking a new career to meet the ever-growing need of providing expertise to communities impacted by federally or state declared disasters.  
Associate Project Managers (APMs) will work in collaboration with assigned Team Leads, Project Managers, and others to assist with the execution of contracts and applicable task orders. APMs will accept disaster recovery assignments with a variety of clients including, but not limited to, State and County agencies, local municipalities, and private not-for-profit organizations. Responsibilities may include communicating with stakeholders, including team members and clients, analyzing projects, identifying risks, and forming risk mitigation strategies. APMs should be meticulous, work well in a team environment, and be able to manage assignments, tasks, and responsibilities with a self-driven attitude while maintaining a positive outlook.
