Build your career with DEM Fire

Building a successful career can be challenging and overwhelming, especially when starting in a new industry.

DEM Fire provides an environment that supports you throughout your career journey from the moment you start as a trainee, which is why you should choose to build your career with DEM Fire.

A family-oriented environment


The company treats its team members as part of the family, and is one of the most appealing things about working with DEM Fire.

The business is supportive of everyone’s personal and professional successes and achievements. “Whether you’re struggling or thriving, they want to know about it and help you overcome obstacles and celebrate your wins,” says Janice Marshall, Manager for DEM Fire.

The DEM Fire culture


The management structure at DEM Fire is unique in that it’s not vertical but horizontal.

The communication within the business is streamlined, and everyone has the opportunity to be heard. The company values autonomy and encourages team members to make decisions and solve problems independently, which helps develop skills and the team to become more confident in their abilities.

Aside from the FPAS, AFSS and other ongoing industry accreditation required by fire safety experts, DEM Fire values education and personal development so supports team members in pursuing further education and training.

This helps individuals stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the fire and essential services field and continue to grow as a professional.

Why DEM Fire is an excellent place to work


DEM Fire recognises and celebrates the achievements of team members, whether it’s completing a degree, passing a certification exam, or competing in a major athletic event.

Another advantage of working at DEM Fire is the team’s variety of work.

“Every day is a learning day, and you’ll have the opportunity to work on various projects and tasks, from working on hydrants and hose reels to installing sprinklers and fire systems.

This variety keeps fire protection and prevention work interesting and exciting and helps you develop a well-rounded set of skills,’ says DEM Fire trainee Casey Sessions.

In memory of an outstanding fire safety professional, Brian Macklin, DEM Fire established the Brian Macklin Award to recognise Brian’s skill, hard work and incredible commitment to fire prevention. The first recipient, Mitchell Barter is still with the business as he feels valued and appreciates the open communication that DEM Fire encourages.

Building a career with DEM Fire is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. The company values its team members and provides an environment that can support you throughout your career journey. Whether you’re just starting or looking for a change, DEM Fire could be the perfect place to build a successful career.
