What You Will Do

The Fire Program Manager is responsible for the overall planning, execution, governance, and successful delivery of fire protection programs within assigned Strategic Accounts. This role serves as the primary point of accountability for customer-facing fire initiatives, including fire alarm systems, fire suppression systems, inspections, testing, maintenance, service delivery, capital projects, and regulatory compliance activities.
