Fire & Safety Specialists
Fire & Safety Specialists, Inc. is a family owned and operated company based out of South Louisiana. We are a leading provider of comprehensive fire protection solutions, specializing in clean agent suppression systems, fire sprinklers, and fire alarm installations for oil & gas, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. We are committed to delivering high‑quality, code‑compliant systems that prioritize safety, innovation, and client satisfaction. Our projects emphasize ethical practices, integrity, and excellence in execution.
The Fire Protection Project Manager will oversee the end‑to‑end management of multiple fire protection installation projects, focusing on clean agent suppression, sprinkler, and fire alarm systems in the data center industry for a strong client. This role demands a highly organized, detail‑oriented professional capable of juggling simultaneous installations across various sites while maintaining strict budget controls, timelines, and quality standards. The ideal candidate embodies strong ethics and integrity, ensuring all work complies with industry regulations and company values. This position requires a willingness to commit extended hours, including up to 80‑hour work weeks during peak project phases, to meet critical deadlines. The Project Manager will collaborate closely with designers, support staff, field teams, manufacturer engineers, and client personnel to deliver successful outcomes.
Project Planning and Execution: Lead the planning, scheduling, and execution of fire protection projects from pre‑construction through commissioning and handover. Develop detailed project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, and risk assessments, using tools like Microsoft Project or equivalent software.
Supervision of Multiple Sites: Manage and supervise concurrent installations at different locations, coordinating field crews, subcontractors, and vendors to ensure seamless progress. Conduct regular site visits to monitor work quality, safety compliance, and adherence to project specifications.
System‑Specific Expertise: Oversee installations involving clean agent suppression systems, wet/dry/pre‑action sprinkler systems, and fire alarm/detection systems. Ensure all work meets NFPA standards (e.g., NFPA 13 for sprinklers, NFPA 72 for alarms, NFPA 2001 for clean agents) and local building codes.
Budget and Cost Management: Track and control project costs, including manhours, manufactured equipment, and installation materials. Prepare accurate cost estimates, monitor variances, and implement corrective actions to stay within budget. Generate monthly progress reports on financial performance.
Resource and Team Management: Supervise project teams, including assigning tasks, providing mentorship, and resolving conflicts. Foster strong working relationships with internal designers, administrative support staff, manufacturer engineers, and external client personnel to facilitate smooth communication and collaboration.
Compliance and Quality Assurance: Ensure all projects adhere to safety protocols, environmental regulations, and ethical standards. Conduct inspections, audits, and testing to verify system integrity and performance. Address any deficiencies promptly while upholding the highest levels of integrity in reporting and decision‑making.
Client and Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, engineers, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). Lead project meetings, provide status updates, and manage change orders to align with client expectations.
Risk Mitigation and Problem‑Solving: Identify potential risks early, such as supply chain delays or site‑specific challenges, and develop contingency plans. Resolve issues on‑site or through escalation, always prioritizing ethical solutions that maintain project momentum.
Documentation and Closeout: Maintain comprehensive project records, including submittals, as‑built drawings, O&M manuals, and warranties. Oversee project closeout, including final inspections, client training, and handover.
If you are interested in working for a growing corporation, on some of the largest projects in the USA, we look forward to hearing from you!
