ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Fire Protection Sprinkler Designer at Fire Foe Corp, you'll play a critical role in the construction of new buildings and the renovation of existing ones. Your work directly contributes to the safety of the people who live, work, and shop in the buildings you help protect.

You'll study architectural drawings to understand how a building is constructed, then design a fire sprinkler system that fits seamlessly within the structure and meets all applicable building codes. Once your design is complete, you'll prepare permit submission packages — including plans and equipment data sheets — for submittal to the local building department. From there, you'll generate fabrication reports for our in-house fab shop, helping move material efficiently to our sprinkler fitters in the field.

Every project you complete is a direct contribution to your community. That's something worth showing up for.
