Workplace: remote

Description

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a AlphaGov) delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks.

This opportunity is contingent upon contract award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal.

AlphaGov is seeking an experienced airport fire-rescue leader or consultant to serve as subject-matter lead on organizational assessments and staffing analyses of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) departments at FAA Part 139 airports. You would bring hands-on ARFF operations, staffing, and regulatory knowledge to proposals and, upon award, to study delivery.

What you'll do:
- Assess ARFF organizational structure, chain of command, shift schedules, minimum staffing, and the ARFF Index against FAA Part 139 and NFPA 403/1710 requirements
- Interview firefighters, officers, and the fire chief; review training, certification, and response-time records
- Build peer-airport benchmarks (staffing, compensation, apparatus, and station models) and staffing scenarios
- Advise on apparatus replacement, station planning, and capital needs at a planning level
- Draft findings and recommendations and present them to airport leadership and commissions
- Contribute ARFF qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned
