Why This Role Stands Out
If you're a Fire Sprinkler Designer who wants to work on complex, high-visibility projects-not just churn out drawings-this is your opportunity to step into a role where your designs directly shape safety, performance, and execution on major builds.
You'll join a team that values technical precision, collaboration, and career growth, giving you exposure to diverse system types, strong engineering support, and the chance to sharpen your expertise across commercial, industrial, and residential projects.
What You'll Do
You'll take ownership of fire protection design from concept through construction:
Design & Engineering
- Create complete sprinkler system designs (wet, dry, pre-action, deluge, foam)
- Perform hydraulic calculations, pipe sizing, and pump analysis
- Analyze water supply, hydrant flow tests, and system performance
- Produce shop drawings, construction documents, and as-builts
- Build and coordinate models in AutoCAD and Revit (BIM)
- Run clash detection and resolve coordination issues with MEP/structural teams
- Ensure designs meet NFPA (13, 13R, 13D, 14, 20), IBC/IFC, and AHJ requirements
- Prepare submittals and respond to AHJ comments
- Coordinate with fire alarm, life safety systems, and FM/UL standards
- Select and specify:
- Sprinkler heads and system components
- Valves (OS&Y), backflow prev enters
- Piping systems (CPVC, steel, grooved)
- Design seismic bracing and supports (ASCE
7) - Support RFIs, field coordination, and commissioning/testing
- 3+ years of fire sprinkler design experience (commercial/industrial preferred)
- Strong experience with:
- Hydraulic calculations and system sizing
- Fire protection software (AutoSPRINK, Hydra
CALC, Sprink
CAD, etc.)
- Proficiency in:
- AutoCAD
- Revit (BIM)
- Working knowledge of:
- NFPA codes (13, 13R, 13D, 14, 20)
- IBC / IFC
- Piping systems and installation practices
- Ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate across teams
- NICET (Water-Based Systems Layout)
- Experience with FM Global standards
- PE license or path toward licensure
- Work on technically challenging, diverse projects
- Gain exposure across multiple system types and industries
- Be part of a collaborative, growth-oriented team
- Opportunity to grow into senior design or engineering roles
