About the Role

This position serves as a critical frontline defender for the facility, ensuring the safety of personnel and assets through comprehensive fire suppression, hazardous materials response, and emergency medical aid.

During emergencies, you will function effectively within the Incident Command System (ICS), providing clear status reports and executing direct orders. Beyond the field, you will support continuous learning by participating in rigorous drills and assisting in internal safety training for facility personnel.

Success in this role requires maintaining physical fitness standards and the ability to make excellent decisions under pressure.
