When disaster strikes around the world, either natural or man-made, USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), is often the U.S Governments first responder. As a Deployable Communications Officer for BHA, you would provide daily technical support to BHA's Washington D.C. based and field-based staff located in offices around the world. You will also provide 24/7 technical support as part of a Duty Officer rotation, helpdesk support for BHA users when assigned and during deployments, and training to deploying personnel on all equipment in BHA's cache. Additionally, you will research new technology to support our field operations, develop documentation, and provide training to your peers. You will assess communications needs of BHA's field offices or disaster deployments and develop a plan, including equipment and training, following through until all needs are met. You will provide backup to the Communications Trainer for standard classroom training, coordinate with other departments within BHA, USAID and the State Department, and support high-end Government officials. You will also train and coordinate with Foreign Service Nationals around the world and deploy, at a moment's notice, anywhere in the world for up to 45 days in support of Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs).
