Fire Alarm Project Manager NYC

We are looking for an experienced Fire Alarm Project Manager who understands what it takes to manage complex fire alarm work in New York City. This is a senior level position for someone who has already managed fire alarm or life safety projects and can take ownership from project turnover through installation, testing, inspection, closeout, and customer turnover.

• Manage fire alarm projects from turnover through completion.
• Coordinate field technicians, labor, subcontractors, customers, construction teams, and internal departments.
• Maintain project schedules, budgets, documentation, and change orders.
• Track equipment, materials, approvals, testing, inspections, and closeout requirements.
• Identify project and jobsite risks early and resolve issues before they impact schedule, budget, or delivery.
• Communicate directly with customers and maintain clear expectations throughout the project.
• Work within active construction environments where coordination, timing, and documentation are critical.
• Take ownership of project performance and drive issues to resolution rather than waiting for problems to be escalated.

• At least 4 years of experience in fire alarm, life safety, or construction project management.
• Strong understanding of fire alarm installation, programming, testing, inspection, and system turnover.
• Experience working directly with field technicians, contractors, customers, and construction teams.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining control of schedules, costs, and documentation.
• Strong understanding of how fire alarm work is actually performed in the field.
• Ability to establish credibility with experienced technicians and field personnel.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• NICET I, NICET II, or PMP certification is a plus, but substantial fire alarm experience is more important than the credential alone.

This is an opportunity to manage meaningful fire alarm projects for a company with the scale, reputation, and project footprint to offer work that is difficult to find elsewhere in New York City

Strong candidates will have the opportunity to evaluate the company, active project portfolio, and hiring manager directly throughout the interview process.
