About the role

Botetourt County is accepting applications to fill the position of Chief of Fire and EMS. The Chief is responsible for all operational and administrative aspects of Fire, EMS, and Emergency Preparedness/Management, overseeing career and volunteer services, and developing policies to protect lives and property, while coordinating response to emergencies as required. Applications received by September 18 will receive priority review; however, the position will remain open until filled.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
