Deputy Director of Fire Prevention Human Resources

Deputy Director of Fire Prevention Human Resources

The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) is the largest fire department in the United States and universally recognized as the world's busiest and most highly skilled emergency response agency. The department's main goal is to provide fire protection, emergency medical care, and other critical public safety services to residents and visitors in the five boroughs. FDNY members are sworn to serve and protect life and property and the department works to continually educate the public in fire, life safety, and disaster preparedness, along with enforcing public safety codes. Since its inception in 1865, FDNY has helped lead efforts to make New York the safest big city in the nation. This accomplishment requires a steadfast and daily commitment to maintaining the department's core values. The Bureau of Fire Prevention cultivates a safer city for its citizens, visitors and first responders by preventing loss of life and property damage from fire and other emergencies. We accomplish this 24 / 7 by identifying fire and life safety hazards; creating, revising, and enforcing the New York City Fire Code; reviewing plans for critical systems designed to protect and alert building occupants; licensing qualified companies to install and service fire protection equipment and systems; certifying individuals to monitor fire safety conditions; and educating individuals and businesses about fire safety. In addition, the Bureau of Fire Prevention is a critical partner with the Bureau of Fire Operations (Firefighters) and Bureau of Fire Investigations (Fire Marshals), providing assistance and guidance during post-fire incidents and investigations; and coordinating with other city agencies on matters concerning fire and life safety. The Bureau consists of fire protection inspectors, lawyers, engineers, explosives experts, and fire officers work together to save lives in New York City. Reporting to the senior director of business operations, the deputy director of human resources will play a critical role in planning, directing, and coordinating personnel functions to align with FDNY's mission to protect life safety.

The Bureau of Fire Prevention (BFP) is seeking a customer serviceoriented and dynamic deputy director of HR to serve as the bureau's dedicated HR expert. The deputy director will provide comprehensive HR support to BFP staff and collaborate closely with the FDNY's Human Capital Bureau to ensure compliance with agency and citywide policy. The role will oversee a wide range of HR functions, including recruitment, hiring, employee relations, compliance, timekeeping, and personnel operations.
