Incident Controller careers
Their role involves leading incident management teams, ensuring the safety of personnel and the public, and maintaining effective communication between various agencies and stakeholders. They assess risks, develop strategic response plans, and allocate resources efficiently to control and mitigate the impact of incidents.
Incident Controllers must remain calm under pressure, make quick decisions, and adapt to rapidly changing circumstances while ensuring compliance with safety regulations and protocols.
