Role Overview

Are you passionate about smart, safe design? As a Fire Sprinkler System Designer with us, you’ll play a key role in protecting people and property by crafting efficient, code-compliant fire sprinkler systems that keep projects running smoothly.

  • Preparing Requests for Information (RFI) to clarify or resolve design questions quickly, keeping projects moving.
  • Coordinating closely with procurement and fabrication teams to ensure materials are ordered accurately, on time, and meet quality standards.
  • Remotely supporting field crews during installation, reviewing progress, and addressing technical challenges to ensure strict adherence to the design and safety protocols.
  • Keeping projects organized and on schedule by tracking deadlines, adjusting plans as necessary, and communicating clearly with all parties involved.
  • Staying up to date with the latest fire protection codes, technologies, and best practices, and bringing that knowledge into your designs for continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

  • 2 to 5 years’ experience designing fire sprinkler systems.
  • Good skills with AutoCAD.
  • A solid understanding of hydraulics.
  • Experience with fire pump installations is a bonus.
  • Strong analytical thinking, communication, and customer service abilities.
