First Attack Fire Fighter

We are looking for individuals to support with our first attack fire fighting (FAFF) inside the Devonport Naval base and dock in Plymouth. This role entails being the first point of remedy for any fires or hazards that may break out on ships, inside submarines and confined spaces around the site. All FAFF trained employees respond to emergencies throughout a marine environment and no two days are the same. FAFF will also offer surveillance to support other KAEFER employees throughout their projects and assignments, reporting risks and hazards; routine walks could up a large majority of your day, offering a safe environment for your peers and colleagues in the spirit of solidarity and a mutual objective to maintain strict health and safety standards. 

What will KAEFER give me in return?

KAEFER is committed to providing trained and efficient staff to our clients, therefore we take developing and growing our workforce seriously. You can expect to be trained in first aid, confined space awareness (City & Guilds accredited qualification) and locally accredited IHASCO. Alongside this, we offer vital mental heath resources, a supportive network and career longevity. 

Do I need previous experience?

In short – no. KAEFER will train you to the highest standards to facilitate FAFF support. We encourage any person of any background to submit their interest. This is a great role for those who have thought of fire fighting or marine support vocations. KAEFER will give you the guidance and tools to secure an exciting career in industrial services.
