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.

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.
