Assistant Fire Chief - OperationsTHE ORGANIZATION: CITY OF COQUITLAMOne of BC?s Top Employers, the City of Coquitlam (?Coquitlam? or ?the City?) offers meaningful career opportunities to over 2,000 employees to make a difference within the local community.

Coquitlam?s brand is built on managing its resources in a responsible and sustainable manner, while supporting a vibrant, growing regional urban centre. Corporate Values:Organizational values form the foundation for the City?s decision-making framework and relationships with its interest holders, including employees, residents and clients. The City of Coquitlam strives to be an organization recognized for its excellence in City governance and employee, resident and client relations. Coquitlam Fire Department Leadership Philosophy:While Coquitlam Fire Department?s Executive Team carries the responsibility for decisions related to policy, discipline, operational direction, and overall staff management, the approach is collegial and grounded in what they know: that a collective experience, with effective teams facing challenges and success together is always best. Leadership in this model is successful when, through effective communication, leadership hears and connects to the values and needs that hold ?us? together as a fire service, rather than ?us and them,? and leads by fostering a culture of belonging from bottom-to-top. Fostering a positive, collective, and values-based culture has far greater impact on staff behavior and mental health challenges than enforcing rules ever can.
