Our 6,000 faculty and staff foster a vibrant, purpose-driven community, that celebrated 200 years of academic excellence in 2018.

**Job Summary**

Working closely with key stakeholders internal and external to Dalhousie, this position supports the operational safety requirements while simultaneously promoting a culture of safety for the university.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Oversee the design, development and implementation of portions of the fire and life safety program, such as fire safety plans, fire safety inspections, evacuation procedures, fire drills, and fire wardens to ensure facilities, laboratories, construction projects/sites, and university procedures and protocols meet or exceed regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

- Lead the development/design of technical content for various EH&S courses (both in-person and virtual), available for delivery to personnel across all levels of Dalhousie, as well as to external parties. Course development involves researching complex technical topics, relevant codes and standards, industry best practices, and collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders.
