The St. Bernard Fire Protection District #1-2 Civil Service Board has announced a civil service examination for the position of Fire Engineer. The examination, scheduled to take place in approximately ninety days, is part of the promotion process within the department.
The promotional exam details were provided in an official notice issued by the Board today. Firefighters seeking to apply can obtain application forms from Roxanne Adams, the Board Secretary. Forms are available at the St. Bernard Parish Government Complex or by request via email at [email protected], Monday through Friday during business hours.
The position of Fire Engineer requires candidates to meet specific criteria. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, of legal age, hold a valid driver's license, and have a minimum of two years of service as a permanent firefighter. In addition to submitting completed applications by July 21, candidates must also provide copies of their driver’s licenses and the required certifications, as outlined in the official notice.
Candidates will first undergo a written examination as part of the process to be placed on the promotional employment list for the Fire Engineer position. After receiving a job offer, they must also pass a physical examination to verify their fitness for the role, though specific details about this exam were not provided in the notice. Approved applicants will receive notification of the exam details at least five days before the scheduled date. Candidates are required to keep all certifications necessary for permanent firefighters and fulfill additional certification requirements, unless they were hired before January 1, 2012, in which case some requirements are waived.
