Ready to Take Your Fire Protection Career to the Next Level?

You've spent years developing your expertise in fire protection design, leading projects, solving complex technical challenges, and becoming a trusted resource for clients and project teams. Now, you may be ready for more.

We are working with a growing consulting engineering firm in Toronto looking for an experienced Fire Protection Engineer to step into an Associate-level role and play a meaningful role in the growth of the fire protection practice.

This opportunity would take on greater technical ownership, leadership, client responsibility, business development, and influence, with a long-term path toward Principal-level leadership and potential ownership. And if you're currently based elsewhere in Canada, relocation to Toronto is encouraged and relocation support may be available.

What You'll Be Doing
As an Associate, you'll remain technically involved while taking on a much broader leadership role within the fire protection discipline.

You'll Have The Opportunity To

Lead fire protection engineering and design projects from concept through completion

Provide technical leadership and mentorship to fire protection engineers and designers

Develop fire protection strategies for complex commercial, healthcare, institutional, and mixed-use projects

Lead and oversee fire protection system design, calculations, reports, specifications, and technical documentation

Interpret and apply applicable Canadian building, fire, and life safety codes and standards

Coordinate fire protection systems with architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural disciplines

Act as a senior technical resource for clients, architects, contractors, and project teams

Build and maintain long-term client relationships

Participate in proposals, presentations, project pursuits, and business development

Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts and develop new business

Help recruit, mentor, and develop the next generation of fire protection professionals

Contribute to technical standards, processes, and best practices

Help shape the continued growth and strategic direction of the fire protection practice

What We're Looking For

Senior Fire Protection Engineer

Senior Fire Protection Designer

Fire Protection Project Manager

Fire Protection Team Lead

Fire Protection Specialist

Associate-level professional looking for a larger platform

We're Looking For Someone With

8–12+ years of fire protection consulting/design experience

Strong experience with building fire protection systems and life safety

Experience delivering commercial, healthcare, institutional, mixed-use, or other complex building projects

Strong knowledge of applicable Canadian fire protection and building codes and standards

Experience with sprinkler, standpipe, fire alarm, life safety, and/or related fire protection systems

Proven project leadership and coordination experience

Strong client-facing and communication skills

Experience mentoring and developing technical staff

An interest in business development and growing client relationships

Professional engineering/designation credentials (P.Eng or P.L Eng within the discipline)

Your Next Step Isn't Just Another Promotion. We're not looking for someone who simply wants an Associate title. We're looking for someone who wants to help build the business.

As An Associate, You'll Have The Opportunity To Influence

The projects the team pursues.

The clients the firm develops.

The people the practice hires and mentors.

The technical standards it operates by.

And the future direction of the fire protection discipline.

For the right individual, this role can provide a long-term path toward Principal-level leadership and potential ownership/equity.

Why Toronto
Toronto is one of Canada's largest and most active building markets, with significant demand across healthcare, institutional, commercial, residential, and mixed-use development.
