• Valid driver license with acceptable driving record in accordance with company policy. DUI within the last 5 years is disqualifying.
• Must pass FBI fingerprint-based criminal history records check to obtain/maintain an Industrial/customer security badge.

Examples of What You Will Do:

• Respond to all actual, potential or simulated aircraft, hazardous materials (HAZMAT), structural and EMS incidents at John Glenn International Airport and make decisions determining the best method of response.
• Respond to medical emergencies involving airport patrons and/or employees and provide EMS commensurate to the appropriate level of training, removing victims of all body weights to a safe environment by any means necessary (within limits of personal safety).
• Ensure the station apparatus, equipment, and spare equipment are maintained in good condition and ready for service at all times.

• Perform inspections of buildings, structures, fueling facilities, and fueling vehicles for fire safety hazards and the elimination of such hazards.
• Responsible for prompt and proper completion of required reports.
• Assist in the implementation of the Airport Emergency Plan and respond accordingly.
• Attend required training classes and train other employees/airport tenants as needed.
• Respond to all calls dispatched to, both on and off Airport property.
