Fire Alarm Design Manager

Due to tremendous growth, one of Chicagoland's growing fire protection companies has an immediate need for a Fire Alarm Systems Designer Manager to lead a small design team. Projects will be a combination of new construction and retrofits/upgrades.
Position will have the ability to work remotely on occasion if desired. Company offers a superior compensation package which includes 401k, life, dental, medical, disability insurance, cell phone, laptop, continuous training, and growth opportunity!

Ideally, we are looking for someone that has 5++ years of experience designing new and retrofitted fire alarm systems for large commercial/industrial facilities. BIM modeling is a big plus but not necessary. NICET IV certification is a big plus but we will consider all candidates with relevant experience. We really are looking for a true lead designer that can take projects from cradle to grave.

Experience mentoring and managing less experienced designers is a plus but not necessary. Must be willing to work hands‑on when needed.

• Use AutoCAD to design systems from inception to completion
• Work closely with the sales team, architects, and engineers to design systems
• Perform occasional site visits to clients to better understand their design needs
• Design systems according to NFPA code
• Review all fire alarm designs before submitting for approval
• Lead and mentor a small design team
