The Government of Nunavut was selected as one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers in 2022, and Top Employers for Young People and recent graduates in 2022. With one of the fastest growing and youngest populations in Canada, Nunavut is a dynamic, vibrant territory, committed to becoming an even better place for future generations. As a government, we are strengthening our unique model of governance - one that integrates Inuit societal values, promotes use of the Inuktut language, achieves a representative public service, and collaborates with partners to achieve the promise of Nunavut. The successful applicant will enjoy a competitive salary, medical and dental benefits, a defined benefit pension plan, relocation privileges and opportunities for training and career advancement.
Based in Iqaluit, NU, and reporting to the Deputy Fire Marshal, you will be responsible for the effective implementation of fire safety and fire prevention, including providing information, advice and guidance to owners, occupants, employers, employees, contractors, architects, engineers, and the general public (clients), as to the requirements of the Nunavut Fire Safety Act and Regulations. In this position, you will act as a regional consultant, advisor and resource person for public and commercial buildings, fire and life safety requirements and decisions that will directly impact GN departments and agencies, and the public and private sectors. The life safety issues that you enforce provide for a safe environment, and may increase project cost, thereby affecting budgeting.
As Assistant Fire Marshal, you may deliver, or assist with the delivery of, Nunavut’s Fire Marshal’s Office activities, including fire fighter training, inspections, fire investigations, code enforcement and public fire safety education, along with providing technical information to the GN, private organizations, architects, and engineers.
