  • About McGee Disaster Consulting Group

McGee Disaster Consulting Group (MDCG) is a disaster consulting firm specializing in FEMA Public Assistance. Our team’s experience spans FEMA program operations, applicant-side grant management, and project closeout, providing a comprehensive understanding of recovery from project development through final reconciliation. We bring a practical understanding of the regulatory and compliance requirements, funding processes, and operational demands that shape disaster recovery.

To us, disaster recovery is about being a steadfast advocate for protecting the public assets, essential services, and infrastructure that communities rely on every day. We take that responsibility seriously. Our approach combines sound judgment, thorough documentation, and clear communication to help organizations navigate complex requirements and advance critical restoration efforts.

We are seeking experienced professionals who share that commitment and bring the initiative, technical expertise, and attention to detail needed to support lasting recovery.

Note: This is a consulting position supporting organizations participating in FEMA’s Public Assistance program. It is not a federal government position.

  • Position Overview

The Site Inspector performs field inspections and gathers the field data that the Damage Description and Dimensions (DDD) is built from for applicant Public Assistance projects. The role records facility characteristics, damaged components, observed conditions, measurements, photographs, and information supporting incident-related damage.

Working within MDCG’s designated review process, the Inspector produces traceable field evidence and flags matters requiring specialist review. The field record gives estimators and project personnel a clear, measured basis for each project’s scope.

This is an on-call, as-needed position. Work assignments are not guaranteed and are dependent upon contract awards, client needs, project requirements, disaster activity, qualifications, availability, and other business needs. Assignments may be offered as opportunities become available, with periods of inactivity possible between assignments.

  • Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct assigned inspections and gather the field data, including damaged components, quantities, and measurements, that the DDD is built from.
  • Record inspection dates, participants, asset identifiers, site access limitations, and inaccessible areas.
  • Collect labeled photographs, measurements, GPS coordinates, sketches, and field notes.
  • Document predisaster design, function, capacity, materials, and component characteristics using available records.
  • Record information about the reported cause and timing of damage and its relationship to the declared incident.
  • Identify indications of preexisting damage, deterioration, deferred maintenance, or other non-disaster conditions for further review.
  • Document completed or ongoing repairs and identify records needed when original damage is no longer visible.
  • Reconcile field observations with the applicant’s damage inventory and flag discrepancies.
  • Distinguish direct observations from applicant statements, records, and unverified information.
  • Flag potential mitigation opportunities and reported codes-and-standards issues for specialist review.
  • Coordinate field clarification and supporting measurements with project personnel and estimators.
  • Follow site-access restrictions, safety procedures, and MDCG’s designated review process.
