Title: WPPS Regional Coordinator
Date Posted: 10-18-2007
Closing Date: Open Until Filled

Location:
Moyock, NC

Primary Purpose:
Responsible for coordinating manning and equipment for their respective regions and supporting the in-country Project Manager (PM) for their regions

Essential Functions:
Manning: Regional Coordinators (RCs) will ensure the Task Orders (TO) in their region are fully manned. In order to complete this task, RCs have a staff of schedulers for WPPS Programs to assist them. RCs will create and maintain a rotation schedule as needed to facilitate Independent Contractor (IC) R&R rotations. There are currently two resource pools of ICs. One is the training classes, and the other is previously deployed ICs. RCs will discuss with the schedulers which pool is the most viable from which to fill any vacant positions. RCs must anticipate the need for additional resources based on rotations and unscheduled events (terminations, emergency leaves, etc.). RCs must coordinate with Blackwater's Operational Support Unit (OSU) to ensure there are adequate qualified candidates to fill each training class. RCs will identify any particular labor category needs to OSU as far in advance as possible to allow time for recruiting, bio approval, training, and security clearance investigations. RCs will coordinate with each other for the deployment of training class graduates. RCs will discuss and resolve any manning conflicts at the lowest possible level.

Approval for Positions: RCs will screen all Department of State biographies before submission to Department of State High Threat Protection - Operations (DSHTPOPs). Bios will come to RCs from OSU and other sources. All bios must meet the DSHTPOPs-mandated format and must clearly demonstrate a candidate's qualifications for the submitted labor category. RCs are responsible for ensuring all ICs are DSHTPOPs approved. Bio approval dates will be noted on the pay muster for each Project. WPPS Program staff will document bio approval dates for each IC, and RCs will ensure that only approved ICs fill TO positions.

Equipment: RCs will ensure that the respective PMs have all equipment authorized by the Statement of Work (SOW) and TO. In the event that additional equipment is needed, RCs will work with in-country management to demonstrate need, cost, and availability and will submit the proposal to the WPPS Deputy Director of Operations. Procurement of all equipment is handled by John McEwen to ensure correct accounting of costs and timeliness of delivery.

Reporting: RCs are responsible for myriad reports that are submitting through the WPPS Local Program Management Office (LPMO) to DSHTPOPs.
1) Each TO requires a weekly report - the RC will submit this report to the LPMO each Friday.
2) Each TO requires a monthly report which is a roll-up of the month's weekly reports - the RC will submit this report to the LPMO NLT the 10th of the following month.
3) RCs will submit the monthly Congressional Delegation (CODEL) support report NLT the 1st of the following month.
4) RCs will obtain the quarterly inventory report from each TO's Administrative and Logistics Security Specialist (ALSS). The RC will review the inventory reports and submit them to the LPMO NLT 10 Jan, 10 Apr, 10 Jul, and 10 Oct of each year.
5) RCs are responsible to ensure all incident reports are forwarded through the chain of command to the LPMO.
6) Termination letters received from PMs will be proofread, reformatted to comply with DSHTPOPs requirements, and submitted the same day they are received from the PM.

Taking Care of ICs: RCs are the main point of contact for all IC issues/concerns. As such, RCs will be familiar with IC contracts, IC pay, emergency leave policies, Defense Base Act insurance policies, medevac procedures, travel and travel documentation policies, and employment verifications. RCs should also be the main point of contact for any questions from in-country management. Also, RCs will know termination/DNU policies, will serve additionally as a recruiter, and will perform all necessary tasks while welcoming candidates to training on the first day of each training class.

Required Education/Experience:
Bachelor's degree in Business or related field required; MBA preferred; experience may substitute. Former law enforcement/active military experience required. Prior experience with WPPS programs preferred. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated managerial, organizational, analytical, and team-building skills and be a self-motivated multi-tasker with the ability to follow written and oral instructions.

Must be capable of meeting daily schedules in a fast-paced and changing environment. Must have intermediate computing skills to include Microsoft Office applications.

Working Conditions:
Position is in a busy office environment and subject to frequent interruptions.

Physical Requirements:
Must be able to lift and carry file boxes and other awkward items weighing up to 25 lbs, including up and down stairs. Requires intermittent standing, walking, sitting, squatting, stretching, and bending throughout the workday.
