Conduct fire extinguisher inspections and support fire prevention activities.
Participate in required ARFF and emergency medical training to maintain FAA compliance.
Assist with emergency preparedness activities and airport safety initiatives.
Help maintain fire apparatus, emergency vehicles, equipment, and station facilities.
Serve as Essential Personnel during snow events and other emergencies, supporting airport operations and public safety.

Must be at least 21 years of age.
Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
Ability to obtain and maintain TSA security clearance for unescorted access to secure airport areas.

Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), EMT, or higher certification.
Hazardous Materials Operations certification.
Associate degree in Fire Science, Emergency Services, Criminal Justice, or a related field.
Three years of fire service or emergency services experience.

Training Opportunities

The Commission is committed to developing successful candidates. Employees who do not already possess the required airport-specific certifications will receive training to obtain:

FAA-required Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) certification.
Virginia Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) certification or higher.

These certifications must be obtained within 12 months of hire (subject to course availability).

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates demonstrate:

Integrity and professionalism.
Strong decision-making under pressure.
Excellent communication and teamwork.
A commitment to safety and customer service.
Sound judgment and attention to detail.
A willingness to continually learn and train.

Schedule

This position requires rotating shifts and may include nights, weekends, holidays, overtime, emergency call-back, and extended hours during severe weather or other emergencies. This position is designated as Essential Personnel.

Physical Requirements

This is a physically demanding position requiring the ability to lift, carry, climb, crawl, work in confined spaces, wear structural firefighting protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), and perform strenuous work in all weather conditions.
