    • About On-Call Employment with ICF

    Given the seasonal or project-specific nature of our disaster & emergency management work, ICF often hires professionals as “On-Call” employees. On-Call employees are scheduled for work hours as they become available (while we usually schedule work hours a few weeks ahead of time, last-minute scheduling may also occur), and each on-call employee is free to accept or refuse the hours assigned to them in a given week. On-Call employees may work concurrent projects outside of their ICF assignment (as long as their outside work does not create a conflict of interest with the work they do for ICF).

We strive to create an environment that’s both welcoming and inclusive, where problem solvers can deepen their knowledge, collaborate with others, test out new ideas, and grow their careers.
