Your mission
As an officer, your function is twofold:
- operational: you manage and coordinate the teams of firefighters on the ground and during the guards; you also ensure fire prevention missions.
- administrative: you hold a management position in one of our departments; you analyze and implement operational, administrative and technical processes.
So you combine 24-hour shifts (followed by 72 hours off) and 8-hour days. You work irregular hours, including nights, weekends and holidays.
What about women? It’s not a man’s job! The only thing that matters is your qualities. We already have several officers in our ranks.
Our barracks are being modernised with specific facilities for women (rooms, changing rooms, toilets, nursing rooms, etc.). Temporary career accommodations are also planned for pregnant firefighters. The job offers a lot of advantages in terms of work-life balance with 3 days off after each shift.
