Under the supervision of the fire safety manager, the individual in this role conducts routine and directed inspections of university facilities, equipment, and work sites to evaluate compliance with NFPA fire codes, OSHA workplace safety regulations, and applicable environmental requirements.

This role also contributes to job hazard analyses and personal protective equipment (PPE) evaluations to ensure employees have the proper tools to work safely.

This position is well-suited for individuals who are highly observant, detail-oriented, and motivated by work that directly supports the well-being of others. Successful candidates will possess strong communication skills, the ability to organize and maintain accurate records, and a commitment to working collaboratively with university personnel.

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel, including the ability to create reports, maintain records, and manage data accurately.
  • Ability to rapidly assess high-risk situations and take appropriate action to protect life, facilities, and the environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for interacting effectively with university personnel and preparing clear, organized reports.
  • Ability to wear and properly use personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Physical ability to perform tasks that include extensive walking, climbing stairs and ladders, working at heights, stooping, kneeling, and lifting up to 35 pounds.
  • Ability to maintain attention to detail while conducting inspections and environmental surveys.
  • Valid Driver's License.
