  • Identify potential ignition sources, fire spread risks, and exposure vulnerabilities affecting utility assets.
  • Use wildfire risk modeling tools and datasets to support risk analysis and mitigation planning.
  • Participate in post-incident reviews and assist with the development of corrective actions and lessons learned.
  • Assist with inspections, audits, and documentation required by Fire Commissions and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
  • Track compliance items, corrective actions, and supporting documentation.
  • Support regulatory reporting related to fire protection and wildfire mitigation activities.
  • Assist in the development and maintenance of emergency response plans, evacuation procedures, and wildfire response protocols.
  • Support coordination with internal operations teams and external fire agencies during planning, exercises, and incidents.
  • Participate in emergency drills, wildfire simulations, and readiness activities.
  • Apply basic understanding of Incident Command System (ICS) principles during response activities.
  • Prepare technical memoranda, risk assessments, and supporting documentation for wildfire programs.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations to operations staff and project teams.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, safety, environmental, and planning groups to support integrated wildfire risk management.

What Will You Need:
  • Eligibility to work in the US without sponsorship.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
  • Bachelor's degree in Forestry, Fire Science, Environmental Science, Meteorology, or a related field.
  • 5-8 years of experience in fire protection engineering, wildfire mitigation or risk management.
  • Experience supporting fire protection design reviews, inspections, or wildfire mitigation activities in an electric utility environment.
  • Working knowledge of wildfire behavior, fire science, and emergency response fundamentals.
  • Ability to work independently and in collaborative teams.
