How You Will Contribute

This is a great opportunity to showcase your design skills while playing a key role on various fire protection sprinkler system projects. As a Designer, you will exercise your attention to detail while designing automatic sprinkler systems using HydraCAD, an AutoCAD-based software product and AutoSprink. In conjunction with a Sales Project Manager, you will plan, organize and execute projects through activities such as; on-site field surveys, generating hydraulic calculations, submitting drawings to obtain the required building permits, 3D BIM coordination using NavisWorks, preparing stock lists, ensuring the projects adhere to the proposed timeline, and preparing project close-out, operation and maintenance documents. Candidates with more experience will be given higher-level projects as well as help mentor Designers with less experience.

What You Need To Qualify

Ahern will help make the most of your degree in a design/drafting-related program. Candidates with related design experience are welcomed applicants who would be given higher-level projects. AutoSprink experience preferred. Being proficient in AutoCAD, mathematically and technically inclined to learn industry-specific software and codes will be essential. You can stand out above other candidates by demonstrating the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven work environment.
