Applications are being taken online through the city’s careers portal.
Job responsibilities and pay
According to a Facebook post by the Bartlett Police Department, the fire marshal will supervise the Fire Prevention Bureau and take on plan review, public education, data analysis, code enforcement and fire investigations. The posting lists the role as full-time with a salary range of $92,486 to $106,924, plus comprehensive health, life and retirement benefits.
The post notes that the fire marshal may also perform responsibilities laid out in the firefighter job description and serve as an incident safety officer when required. It adds that the city participates in E‑Verify, and that applicants who do not yet hold every required certification may still be considered, provided they obtain those certifications within a department-established timeframe.
State rules and E‑Verify
The E‑Verify requirement in the listing lines up with Tennessee legislation that will require state and local governmental employers to verify new hires through the federal E‑Verify system beginning July 1, 2026. The law also allows the state to enforce compliance, including by withholding state funds from local governments that do not follow the rules, according to the Tennessee General Assembly.
