This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong background in fire sprinkler design who is looking to join an established fire protection company, work on a variety of projects, and continue growing their career within the industry.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll develop fire sprinkler and suppression system designs for commercial, industrial, and multi-family projects. You’ll be responsible for creating accurate and constructible layouts, hydraulic calculations, shop drawings, material specifications, submittals, and permit packages while ensuring designs meet NFPA standards, local codes, and project requirements.

You’ll work closely with project managers, engineers, architects, and field teams throughout the design process. This includes reviewing construction drawings and specifications, coordinating project requirements, addressing constructability concerns, making design revisions when needed, and helping ensure projects move smoothly from design through installation.

Candidates should be comfortable working with AutoCAD, Revit, HydraCAD, AutoSPRINK, or other fire protection design software and have experience supporting commercial, industrial, or multi-family projects. Technical training or a related degree is preferred, and NICET Level II or III in Water-Based Systems Layout is a plus.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who takes pride in producing quality work, communicates well with both office and field teams, and wants to continue developing within the fire protection industry.
