Job Description & How to Apply Below
We’re looking for a Fire Protection Designer who is ready to take on more complex projects and more ownership. You’ll grow into a bigger scope, deeper client relationships, and eventually a leadership path if that’s your direction.
What You’ll Be Doing- Design fire protection systems in AutoCAD, HydraCAD, HydraCALC, and HydraLIST, taking on projects with real complexity.
- Build hydraulic calculations and job specifications that hold up.
- Keep projects on track and on timeline, working independently more than you have before.
- Partner with Project Managers on cost estimation, budgets, and margins.
- Get out to job sites to scope projects from the ground up.
- Solve design problems as they come up, because they always do.
- Lead coordination meetings, sometimes solo.
- Mentor our Fire Protection Designer I team members when they’ve got questions.
- Be a go‑to resource for our Sprinkler Fitters in the field.
We believe in being humble, hungry, and smart— not just as a poster on the wall, but as how we actually work. Humble enough to ask questions and take feedback. Hungry enough to push for the next challenge. Smart enough to read a room and know how to work well with people.
Our core values guide everything we do:
- Customer Focused
- Excellence
- Family
- Forward Thinking
- Giving Back
- Work Hard, Play Hard
- An Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection Design, Architectural Design, Mechanical Design, Interior Design, or a related field (not required if your experience speaks for itself).
- 1 to 3 years of fire protection system design experience minimum.
- Eligibility to work in the United States.
- NICET Level II certification, or a willingness to obtain it while employed in the role, is a plus.
- A working knowledge of NFPA standards, building and fire codes, and building materials is a plus.
- Hands‑on experience with HydraCAD, HydraCALC, and HydraLIST is a plus.
- Experience working with Project Managers on estimates is a plus.
- Experience supporting Sprinkler Fitters in the field is a plus.
- Experience leading coordination meetings is a plus.
- Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
- Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
- Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
- Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
- Short Term & Long Term Disability
- Training & Development
- Wellness Resources
