Jurek joined the Midland Fire Department as a firefighter in 2004 and was promoted to fire truck operator in 2014 and lieutenant in 2021. During his tenure, he has served as an Acting Fire Inspector and Investigator, Team Manager of the Region 3 Incident Management Team, member of the Region 3 Homeland Security Planning Board, and member of the MFD drone team as a licensed airman through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
