Demonstrable experience in strategic fire safety management at a senior level in a complex, multi-site organization.
Experience in planning and implementing fire prevention, protection, and intervention strategies.
Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team, upholding values of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
