Job description

Director of Public Certification Unit

The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) is the largest Fire Department in the United States and universally is recognized as the world's busiest and most highly skilled emergency response agency. The Department's main goal is to provide fire protection, emergency medical care, and other critical public safety services to residents and visitors in the five boroughs. FDNY members are sworn to serve and protect life and property and the Department works to continually educate the public in fire, life safety and disaster preparedness, along with enforcing public safety codes. Since its inception in 1865, FDNY has helped lead efforts to make New York the safest big city in the nation. This accomplishment requires a steadfast and daily commitment to maintaining the Department's core values. The Bureau of Fire Prevention cultivates a safer city for its citizens, visitors and first responders by preventing loss of life and property damage from fire and other emergencies. We accomplish this 24/7 by identifying fire and life safety hazards; creating, revising, and enforcing the New York City Fire Code; reviewing plans for critical systems designed to protect and alert building occupants; licensing qualified companies to install and service fire protection equipment and systems; certifying individuals to monitor fire safety conditions; and educating individuals and businesses about fire safety. In addition, the Bureau of Fire Prevention is critical partner with the Bureau of Fire Operations (Firefighters) and Bureau of Fire Investigations (Fire Marshals), providing assistance and guidance during post-fire incidents and investigations; and coordinating with other City agencies on matters concerning fire and life safety. The Bureau consists of Fire Protection Inspectors, lawyers, engineers, explosives experts, and Fire Officers work together to save lives in New York City. The Department seeks a Director of the Public Certification Unit to lead one of the Department's most critical public-facing operations, overseeing the administration and continuous improvement of certification, testing, licensing, and compliance functions. This role ensures that individuals and businesses meet regulatory standards essential to public safety. The incumbent's retirement creates a significant operational and managerial gap, requiring a strong, experienced leader capable of maintaining continuity while advancing modernization, efficiency, and service delivery.

Direct and oversee the daily operations of the Public Certification Unit, ensuring the efficient administration of certification, testing, licensing, and compliance functions. Develop and implement strategic initiatives to enhance operational performance, streamline processes, and improve customer service delivery. Analyze certification workflows, staffing models, and performance metrics to identify inefficiencies and drive data-informed improvements. Lead modernization and digitization efforts, including advancing certification systems, records management, and public-facing service platforms. Coordinate and maintain strong working relationships with internal FDNY units, other City agencies, and external stakeholders to ensure alignment and compliance with regulatory requirements. Develop and recommend policies, procedures, and operational standards to strengthen certification practices and promote consistency, transparency, and accountability. Supervise managerial and administrative staff, providing leadership, mentorship, and performance management to support a high-performing team environment. Ensure compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing certification and licensing activities, and represent the Bureau in meetings, audits, and public engagements related to certification and compliance matters ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF ANALYST - 1002E
