Fire Investigator Provo, Ut | (Part Time) (Hybrid)

Experienced Fire Investigator Needed!!! Do not apply if you are afraid to get your hands dirty, lack curiosity and inquisitiveness, don’t enjoy a challenge, or are not a self-starter.

We are currently seeking a Certified Fire Investigator for part-time support of our forensic operations. In this position, you will apply your technical knowledge to determine the origin and cause of routine as well as complex and unique fires and explosions. This will include structure fires, vehicle fires, products and machinery fires, etc.

This position may ultimately transition to full-time employment. Full-time employees are eligible for a competitive benefits package—including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and employer-matching 401(k).

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for all aspects of private fire investigation from scene exploration and documentation, witness interviews, and photographic and physical evidence collection.
