Construction Management Project Manager – Disaster Recovery

Disaster Management Division

Colorado, U.S.

Join the ICF team and make a difference! Our growing Disaster Management Division makes BIG things happen every day. ICF is seeking a Construction Project Manager to assist the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) with managing federal grants to carry out strategic and high-impact activities to rebuild its housing stock, mitigate disaster risks, and reduce future losses in its communities.

The right candidate will have experience with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) and Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) programs, as well as expertise with other federal disaster recovery programs and applicable cross-cutting requirements.

You will work onsite with other senior staff, subject matter experts, and junior staff to develop and deliver construction processes and procedures, work with clients to develop policies, and manage all construction-related activities in support of DOLA’s disaster recovery and mitigation efforts.

This position requires thinking on one’s feet and adjusting to an ever-changing environment. Some travel may be required to provide programmatic and contractual support, community events, and various other client requests.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work as part of a team providing expert services to support disaster recovery and mitigation efforts with a focus on construction, inspections, cost estimating, and environmental requirements (lead-based paint, asbestos, mold, section 106).
• Provide leadership for construction oversight and quality control on housing rehabilitation, reconstruction, and new construction projects funded by CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT programs.
• Coordinate with state and local officials, environmental teams, and program managers to ensure compliance with HUD requirements and the building, energy, and wildland-urban interface codes adopted by each Colorado jurisdiction.
• Develop SOPs for construction standards, environmental hazard mitigation, green/resilient building strategies, and field QA/QC procedures.
• Support procurement teams in contractor scoring and selection processes, and ensure contractor performance aligns with key performance indicators.
• Manage training staff to facilitate training sessions and technical assistance workshops for local partners, builders, and internal teams.
• Oversee the resolution of construction-related issues, homeowner concerns, and ensure proper documentation is maintained for all construction phases.
• Assist with the development or refining of program procedures and processes for implementation.
• Manage staff reviews of environmental requirements and ensure these items are properly incorporated into scopes of work to ensure environmental compliance.
• Ability to interpret and apply HUD requirements, local building codes, green building standards, and program policy as it relates to disaster recovery and mitigation construction activities.
• Manage client contracts and work order requirements to ensure profitability.
• Monitor and allocate resources as necessary.
• Coordinate with each authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to confirm adopted code editions, permitting sequences, and inspection requirements, recognizing that Colorado is a home rule state in which building code adoption and contractor licensing occur at the local level.
• Ensure scopes, specifications, and field work comply with the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code (8 CCR 1507-39) where properties fall within mapped wildland-urban interface areas, including fire intensity classification, structure hardening, ignition-resistant assemblies, and defensible space provisions.
• Verify that rehabilitation, reconstruction, and new construction scopes meet the applicable Colorado energy code requirements, including the adopted IECC edition, the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code, and the Model Low Energy and Carbon Code (MLECC).
• Confirm elevation and flood-resistant design compliance with the CWCB Rules and Regulations for Regulatory Floodplains (2 CCR 408-1) and HUD floodplain management requirements at 24 CFR Part 55, including freeboard minimums and No-Rise Certification where work is proposed in a regulatory floodway.

Preferred Qualifications:

• ICC certification as a Residential Building Inspector, Combination Inspector, or Certified Building Official, or a locally recognized equivalent.
• Certified Construction Manager (CCM), PMP, or comparable construction or project management credential.
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.
• EPA Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Certified Renovator, or HUD Lead-Based Paint Inspector or Risk Assessor certification.
• Training in wildland-urban interface construction, the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, or the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code.
• Prior experience on Colorado CDBG-DR programs administered by DOLA, including the DR-4634 Marshall Fire and Straight-Line Winds recovery in Boulder County or the DR-4145 2013 flood recovery in Boulder, Larimer, and Weld Counties.
• Experience with HUD DRGR, the DOLA grant portal, and construction management platforms such as Procore, Smartsheet, or Salesforce.
• Working knowledge of green building certification frameworks used in HUD-funded new construction, such as ENERGY STAR, Enterprise Green Communities, or the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard.
• Professional working proficiency in Spanish.
