About the Role — Fire Alarm Repairs Lead Technician

This person will serve as the technical backbone of our repairs operation, working directly with management and sales to perform high-level troubleshooting and repair work. The focus is primarily fire alarm, with a secondary emphasis on fire sprinkler systems. Beyond hands-on repair work, they will direct work assignments for a team of at least three technicians, ensuring jobs are completed on time, and will interface directly with customers and sales reps to help scope and write repair proposals when needed. As a secondary duty, this role may also be called upon to perform fire alarm, fire sprinkler, and special hazards inspections on an as-needed basis. This candidate must be able to pass a background check and have a clean MVR.

A critical part of this role is the ability to mentor younger and less experienced technicians — helping to build the next generation of our technical team. The right candidate takes pride not just in their own work, but in raising the skill level of those around them.

The Right Person

I need someone who is self-motivated, can juggle multiple active jobs without dropping the ball, and communicates clearly with both internal teams and customers. Leadership presence matters — this role directs other technicians and represents us in front of clients and sales partners, so professionalism and people skills are just as important as technical chops. If you're the kind of technician who genuinely enjoys bringing others up alongside you, this role was built for you.
