Position Overview

We are an innovative and collaborative team of designers that prepare submittal and field installation drawings, hydraulic calculations, and submittal data for fire protection systems based on the requirements set by NFPA code standards, the International Building Code, and the Local Authority or fire marshal. The position is entry level and will require weeks of hands on training provided by the company. The training will involve directed classroom training, directed field training, and a significant amount of self-directed training and research. The entry level designer will be expected to learn how to read construction drawings, prepare fire protection installation drawings and hydraulic calculations, prepare material stock lists, visit the construction jobsites to review actual field conditions, and troubleshoot installation conflicts in the field. This position, being a part of the construction industry, is extremely schedule and deadline driven. The key attributes needed for this position are Drive, Adaptability, and Effective Intelligence (learning a principle and applying it to unique situations). The most successful candidates will exhibit the qualities of humility, integrity, and team-ability. We are looking for resilient candidates that can learn new things quickly, have a curious mind and are not afraid to ask questions, able to adapt to changes, meet deadlines, and be humble enough to learn from mistakes.
