About the role

The City of Cape Girardeau is seeking a Deputy Fire Chief for its all-hazards Fire Department serving a community of about 40,000 along the Mississippi River. The Deputy Chief plans, supervises, and coordinates the Operations Division, guiding fire suppression, rescue, hazmat, and safety initiatives. This key role acts as incident commander and, in the absence of the Fire Chief, as Acting Fire Chief. The department offers modern apparatus, strong benefits, and a focus on professional development

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.
