Company Description

EMS Unlimited (Event Medical Solutions Unlimited, LLC) is a paramedic-owned, veteran-operated ground ambulance company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Rifle, Colorado. We provide ALS, BLS, and Critical Care Transport services across multiple states, operate an active federal contract portfolio, and run a dedicated wildland fire and disaster response team under USDA Forest Service Blanket Purchase Agreements. All employees are direct W-2 hires — no agencies, no contractors. 

This position supports our newly awarded U.S. Army contract (W81K0026CA004) providing 24/7/365 ground ambulance emergency response services at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. 

Job Description

Position Summary 

The Senior Paramedic / On-Site Program Manager is EMS Unlimited's full-time, on-site leader at Fort Leavenworth and the primary point of contact for the U.S. Army COR, LTC Douglass, and Fire Chief Hensley. This individual owns all day-to-day contract performance — staffing, scheduling, clinical quality, logistics, compliance, and government relations — and must carry sufficient corporate authority to resolve contract situations on-site without delay. 

This is a senior leadership role for a credentialed paramedic ready to step into program management on a federal DoD contract. It is a full-time, off-truck position focused on program execution, team leadership, and government client management. The right candidate gets to build something: run a federal EMS program at one of the Army's most historic installations, lead a dedicated crew, and be the face of EMS Unlimited to the Department of Defense.

Compensation

• $95,000 annual equivalent
• Health and Wellness benefit of $881/month

This position is covered under the Service Contract Act (SCA), which requires EMS Unlimited to provide a Health & Welfare (H&W) benefit of $5.09 per hour worked. H&W is a federally mandated fringe benefit — it is not discretionary. The $5.09/hr can be applied in one of two ways: it can be directed toward your share of the company's medical benefits plan (health, dental, vision), effectively reducing or eliminating your out-of-pocket premium cost; or, if you waive employer-sponsored coverage and provide proof of other qualifying coverage, it can be paid to you as cash in lieu of benefits, added directly to your paycheck. Either way, you receive the full value — it is part of your total compensation, not a deduction from your base pay.

Why This Role

You'll run EMS for one of the U.S. Army's most historic installations. You'll lead a dedicated team, manage a multi-year federal DoD contract, and have the CEO's direct support and a world-class technology stack at your fingertips. This is what it looks like when a small company trusts someone to own something big. And you'll do it again tomorrow.
