The Village of Belledune New Brunswick is seeking a dynamic individual to revitalize and rebuild our existing Volunteer Fire Department. The person we are ideally seeking has excellent knowledge of New Brunswick Fire Regulations and Fire Prevention Association guidelines. The successful candidate will also have excellent people skills as well as administrative skills.

Some of the objectives will include but not be limited to the following:

Implementing recommendations from two previous reviews completed in 2001, and 2013.
Increasing the number of volunteer firefighters.
Completely reviewing and overhauling existing Fire Department policies and adding any new policies as required.

Evaluating the growth of our industrial sector and what impacts are necessary in the fire department to mitigate the risk of larger scale industrial mishaps in the future.
Strengthening workplace relationships internally as part of the village team.

The successful candidate will report to, and work closely with, the C.A.O. on a day-to-day basis but will be called on to report back to council directly on progress and challenges.
