The Fire Industry Association (FIA) is expanding its training team and looking for two full-time Trainers. One position is an immediate start with another beginning in April 2026.

We’re seeking professionals with a Fire Detection & Alarm (FD&A) background – but this doesn’t exclude those with strong experience in fire risk assessment, fire safety management, or other fire-related training. If you can teach, communicate clearly, and want to help raise industry competence, we want to hear from you.
