Description

Career Firefighter 3rd Class: These firefighters are employed by USS and perform mainly industrial field work. They are also required to maintain fleet vehicles and equipment and respond to emergency callouts for FRI when not on a field assignment. Career Firefighters receive their retainer as a direct deposit every two weeks and receive day-rate bonuses for time spent in the industrial field for USS. Career firefighters are assigned a specific unit type that they are responsible for maintaining when not on an assignment.

Duties and Responsibilities

These firefighters work an 8-hour workday while at the station, and usually 12-hour workdays when in the industrial field. The shift rotation for this position is two weeks on-duty followed by two weeks off-duty. Career firefighters are required to relocate to within the call area or may reside on-station if they choose not to relocate. These firefighters can make enough money to reliably sustain most lifestyles if they are sent into the industrial field on a semi regular basis. This position allows individuals to work only half of the year, which grants them the ability to work elsewhere for supplemental income if desired.

Minimum Qualifications

o Class 3Q Unrestricted Drivers License
o 18 years of age or older
o Clean criminal record check with vulnerable sector screening
o Reside within a 5-minute drive of either the Onoway or Alberta Beach Fire Stations (or must be willing to stay on station for on-duty time).
o NFPA 1001 Level II
o Standard First Aid and CPR
o H2S Alive
o Common Safety Orientation (CSO)
o NFPA 1072 Awareness and Operations levels
o Emergency Medical Responder registered with the Alberta College of Paramedics
