Fire Engineering Specialist Technical Advice
Canberra
The Department of Defence requires the services of personnelsubstantial experience in fire engineering to provide technical advice and support services to the Estate Engineering Policy Directorate within Infrastructure Division.
The Fire Engineering Section provides specialist technical advice and guidance on fire engineering aspects and regularly reviews building design documentation and assesses dispensation requests for compliance with Defence policy and other statutory requirements. The Section is also responsible for reviewing and updating DI(G)ADMIN 20-26, the Manual of Fire Protection Engineering(MFPE) and associated guideline documents and templates. The MFPE is the primary policy document when determining fire protection requirements for Defence facilities.
It is proposed to engage a primary consultancy firm and a secondary consultancy firm to provide the fire engineering section with technical advice and support services as required. The primary consultants will be issued the majority of work in the first instance, while the secondary consultants will mainly be engaged where any conflict of interest situation occurs, when the primary consultants are unavailable in the timeframe required, to meet surge capacity or in other situations deemed necessary by Defence.
The Fire Engineering Section requires the assistance of two appropriately qualified people (per firm) that are capable of delivering all aspects detailed in the Project Brief.
