To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen.

As a Fire Alarm Inspector at Encore Fire Protection, you will play a direct role in making sure the systems that protect our customers are working the way they should. You will test, inspect, and troubleshoot fire alarm systems so that when they are needed, they respond correctly and meet code and customer expectations.

You will spend most of your time at customer sites performing scheduled inspections, system checks, and responding to issues that need attention. You will work with building owners, facility teams, contractors, and internal colleagues, and you will often be the face of Encore Fire Protection at the properties you support.

If you like working with both tools and technology, enjoy diagnosing issues, and take satisfaction in leaving a system in better shape than you found it, this role will fit you well. Join us and contribute to our mission to be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen.

You are the one who tests, documents, and troubleshoots, who explains what you find in plain language, and who sticks with an issue until the panel isquiet,and the paperwork is clean.

• Identify situations where systems are not installed, maintained, or operating in line with code or industry standards and clearly communicate those findings.
• Make practical recommendations for system and installation improvements that support safety, reliability, and compliance.
• Complete troubleshooting and repair work on assigned customer systems, following through until all issues are fully resolved.
• Maintain accurate records of work performed, findings, and recommendations for each site you visit.

• A valid Massachusetts Class D Systems Technician license (low voltage) or higher
• A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record
• Extensive knowledge of NFPA 72, NEC, fire alarm system theory, OSHA requirements, and industry standards for fire alarm system installation
• Hands‑on experience with a variety of fire alarm system manufacturers, such as Gamewell FCI, Siemens, Notifier, Edwards, Simplex, Honeywell, Fire Lite, or similar
• Strong troubleshooting skills and confidence working independently in the field while staying aligned with company processes and safety expectations

• Attention to detail and a habit of finishing tasks completely and accurately
