About the role

Role Scope

Own emergency preparedness end to end: pre-incident response planning and training with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction, the facility Emergency Response Teams, and readiness for fire and medical events at every scale.

Lead facility fire risk assessments and partner with Health and Safety on hazardous materials code compliance, covering Maximum Allowable Quantities, non-compatibles, and other AHJ storage and use requirements.

Own the fire and life safety program: budget, third-party consultant relationships, contracted Inspection, Testing and Maintenance with quality assurance review of every deliverable, and the Hot Work and Impairment programs.

Partner with Design and Delivery on plan review and commissioning of fire and life safety systems so protection is engineered in at the design stage, not bolted on after handover.

Lead incident investigations using 5-Why and fault tree analysis, drive corrective and preventive actions to closure, and serve as site liaison to OSHA and state-plan agencies such as ADOSH for inspections, citations, and record-keeping.

Run the routine inspection program of walkthroughs and Gemba observations, sit on the Joint Health and Safety Committee, and report leading and lagging safety KPIs to leadership monthly.

Travel 50 to 75% across the fleet.

Requirements

  • Conducted plan review and commissioning of fire and life safety systems per NFPA, FM, and IFC codes and standards, working with design engineers to build safety in at the design stage, and identified gaps that resulted in properly functioning systems.
  • Technical Fire Protection background: signing off on complex fire and life safety systems and ensuring their operation.
  • Conducted fire and life safety risk assessments per NFPA, FM, and IFC/IBC requirements and turned findings into safeguards that were actually built and enacted.
  • Managed and developed emergency response team members, fire inspectors, coordinators, or fire alarm and sprinkler technicians, and owned a program budget and vendor relationships.
  • Led root-cause investigations using 5-Why or fault tree analysis on a manufacturing floor and closed out the corrective actions.
  • Been the site point of contact for local or state Fire Marshals, OSHA, or state-plan (ADOSH) inspections, and closed out findings without repeat citations.
  • Track leading and lagging safety metrics and use them to change what leadership prioritizes month to month.

Nice-to-Haves

  • NFPA Certified Fire Protection Specialist, Fire Officer, Fire Inspector, Hazardous Materials Technician, or 40-Hour HAZWOPER, held or actively pursuing.
  • OSHA 30-Hour General Industry card.
  • Working fluency with NFPA and IFC/IBC model codes and FM Data Sheets.
