Operating at a senior level, the core focus of this role will be to contribute to the development and delivery of Service and District plans in support of Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service fire protection and fire investigation objectives.


This will include undertaking fire investigations, and coordinating, supporting and managing the FIPO's and wider fire investigation team by providing advice, training, supervision to ensure the Service meets legal obligations when carrying out fire investigations.


The role will also require the post holder to enforce fire safety legislation and consult with Building Control Applications in non-domestic properties across Norfolk.
