Deputy Fire Chief

Concord Fire Department | Concord, New Hampshire

The City of Concord Fire Department is seeking an experienced, collaborative, and forward-thinking leader to serve as Deputy Fire Chief.

The Deputy Fire Chief is a key member of the Department’s executive leadership team and assists in directing the administration, operations, personnel, and strategic direction of the Department.

Position Focus

This recruitment is expected to have a primary emphasis on Professional Standards, including:

  • Training and professional development
  • EMS quality assurance and continuous quality improvement
  • Personnel performance and investigations
  • Policy, accountability, and organizational improvement
  • Selected departmental technology and software systems
  • Data analysis and performance reporting

These responsibilities are reflected in the current Deputy Fire Chief class specification, including management of training, QA/CQI, performance improvement plans, personnel investigations, software systems, and data analysis.

The Department uses a collaborative executive leadership model. While this vacancy is being recruited with a Professional Standards emphasis, specific responsibilities among the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chiefs may be adjusted based on organizational needs and the experience, strengths, and skill sets of the leadership team.

Candidates should therefore consider the position broadly and are encouraged to apply based on the full range of their leadership experience.

Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will demonstrate strong leadership, sound judgment, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to mentor personnel, manage complex organizational issues, and contribute effectively as part of an executive team.

Experience in training, EMS, professional standards, personnel management, quality improvement, technology, or related areas is highly desirable.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Fire Science/Protection, Public Administration, Business Administration, or a related field, with five years of experience at a level equivalent to Company Officer, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.

A valid New Hampshire Driver’s License and Firefighter Level II certification are required. Fire and/or EMT Instructor certification and National Registry Paramedic certification are desirable.

The City of Concord is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
