Fire Prevention Advisor (Conseiller(ère) en prévention incendie, Immeuble, aménagement et sécurité)

The client is looking for two fire prevention advisors attached to the Technical Expertise Department. The role is operational: the person executes, under the supervision of a senior resource, rather than defining strategy. Day-to-day work covers compliance review of fire safety plans, the register of fire safety and emergency measures plans, planning evacuation drills with operations and security teams, and writing opinions and inspection reports. Command of the legal and normative framework (NBC, NFC, municipal by-laws, Quebec Fire Safety Act) underpins the expected advisory role. The client specifies a junior-to-intermediate profile with 2 to 5 years of experience at most, consistent with an execution role under supervision.

Candidate sought: a fire prevention technician holding a DEC or AEC in the field, with 2 to 5 years of practice in inspections, fire safety plans, emergency measures plans or evacuation drills. The person knows the NBC, the NFC and the Fire Safety Act, writes clearly in French and works in support of a senior resource.

Key Requirements:

• Knowledge of the legal, regulatory and normative fire safety framework (NBC, NFC, municipal by-laws, Fire Safety Act)
  
• Hands-on experience with the mandate's activities (inspections, fire safety plans, emergency plans, evacuation drills, opinions and reports)
  
• Autonomy and ability to provide advisory services in their field, in an execution role
  
• Verbal and written communication in French
  
• Good knowledge of English
  
• Proficiency in the Office suite
  
• Initiative, autonomy, leadership, emotional intelligence, sense of responsibility, teamwork

• Occupational health and safety profile without demonstrated fire prevention specialization or knowledge of the NBC or NFC.
  
• Corporate security or guarding profile without fire prevention training.
