About the role:

You will perform planning, executing, coordinating, and reviewing complex fire protection design, assessment, analysis, field-support, and program support work.

• Lead small groups, defined scopes, or multi-deliverable technical work packages within larger projects, proposals, studies, modification packages, assessments, program activities, field-support efforts, or client-support assignments.
• Develop, coordinate, and review technical deliverables such as calculations, design inputs, layouts, specifications, design-basis documents, system narratives, cause-and-effect documentation, field-review records, technical evaluations, assessments, reports, work plans, and technical correspondence.
• Resolve routine and complex technical issues within assigned scopes and identify matters requiring escalation to a Lead Fire Protection Specialist, licensed professional, discipline manager, client authority, AHJ, regulatory-support function, or other designated authority.
• Lead assigned technical interfaces with clients, vendors, internal stakeholders, field personnel, and other disciplines, including presenting technical issues, explaining assumptions, documenting decisions, and supporting resolution of comments.
• Maintain technical currency through project work, industry standards, technical literature, operating experience, professional development, and engagement with internal and external technical communities.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 10 years of related professional experience in fire protection, engineering technology, design or consulting services
• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related technical education
• Professional Engineer (PE) license, Limited License, C.E.T., NICET, CFPS, or other relevant professional registration, certification, or designation
• Review the work of others, lead defined scopes or small groups, and exercise mature technical judgement within the fire protection practice area
