The Opportunity

Working closely with a Fire Alarm Project Manager, you will help coordinate fire alarm installation and service-related work while supporting the day-to-day execution of projects. 

You will assist with project intake, materials coordination, documentation, and communication between internal teams, vendors, and customers. This position offers hands-on exposure to how fire alarm projects are planned, sold, scheduled, and executed. Over time, you’ll build the operational and technical experience needed to grow into a Project Manager role. 

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Fire Alarm Project Manager with coordination of fire alarm installation projects and service-related work. 

• Assist with intake of new projects by reviewing scopes, drawings, and proposals to ensure accurate setup and handoff from sales or deficiency teams. 

• Help prepare submittals, takeoffs, and bill of materials to support fire alarm installations and parts ordering. 

• Coordinate ordering, tracking, and staging of equipment and materials for technicians in the field. 

• Assist with scheduling field technicians and tracking project progress to keep work moving forward. 

• Support quoting, deficiency corrections, and simple change order pricing as needed. 

• Communicate with customers, vendors, and internal teams to keep projects aligned on status, timelines, and material needs. 
• Maintain organized project documentation and assist with job tracking and project closeout. 

What You Bring to the Table

• 2–5 years of experience in construction, service operations, fire alarm, electrical, or a trade-adjacent role. 

• Exposure to project coordination, field operations, estimating, scheduling, or materials coordination. 

• Ability to read and understand basic construction drawings, fire alarm plans, and scopes of work. 

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. 

• Clear communication skills and comfort working with field teams, vendors, and customers. 

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. 

• Comfort using everyday business tools such as email, spreadsheets, and scheduling or tracking systems. 

• Valid driver’s license with reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally as needed. 

• Ability to work at heights and lift up to 50 pounds when required. 

What Will Make You Stand Out? 

• Familiarity with fire alarm materials, components, and installation workflows. 

• Experience supporting project managers or field operations within construction or service organizations. 

• Exposure to estimating tools, project management software, or construction management systems. 

• Trade schooling, technical training, or certifications related to fire alarm or electrical systems. 
• Interest in growing into a Fire Alarm Project Manager role.
