- Fire safety compliance and NOC management with Indian government authorities
- Team training, drill planning, and ERT coordination
- Incident documentation and safety record management
Market perspective: Fire safety roles in Indian commercial real estate are growing steadily alongside mall and infrastructure expansion. A Fire Officer at this level in Tier-2 cities like Ludhiana typically earns ₹3–5 LPA, which is competitive locally, though JLL's Total Rewards Program may push compensation toward the higher end.
