Fire Sprinkler Apprentice

Encore Fire Protection • Full-time • Keene, New Hampshire, United States • 3m ago

Who We Are:

At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the east coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,200 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day.

Our goal is to deliver superior experience to those who trust us to safeguard what matters most. We are passionate about continuous growth, innovation, and maintaining a culture that thrives on success and commitment to safety. Our mission? To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen.

The Opportunity:

As a Sprinkler Installation Apprentice, you will learn about the fire protection trade by working hands-on with experienced Journeymen and field leaders. This role gives you a solid foundation in installing, assembling, and maintaining fire sprinkler systems while building the skills needed to advance into a Field Technician or Field Supervisor role.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys physical work, learning by doing, and being part of a team that takes pride in protecting lives and property. If you like working with tools, solving hands-on problems, and seeing projects come together from the ground up, this is how you start a long and rewarding career.

Key Responsibilities:

Getting started in this trade is less about having experience and more about having the right attitude. If the idea of getting paid to learn a skill, work with your hands, climb a ladder now and then, and help build real fire protection systems sounds exciting, you are in the right place. We will teach you the trade, the tools, and the standards, but you will bring the basics that make you coachable and great to work with:

Work under the direct supervision of a qualified Journeyman Installer.
Assist with laying out, assembling, installing, and servicing fire sprinkler systems in commercial buildings.
Learn to read blueprints, interpret basic designs, and follow detailed installation instructions.
Use hand tools and equipment safely and correctly.
Represent Encore professionally while interacting with customers and jobsite personnel.
Follow all company safety procedures, jobsite rules, and installation standards.
Work independently and as part of a team to maintain productivity and job quality.

What You Bring to the Table:

High school diploma or GED required for apprenticeship program registration
Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn new skills
Ability to take direction and work independently with minimal supervision
Ability to work at heights and lift at least 50 pounds
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation with willingness to travel within assigned territory
Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check
Interest in the construction, sprinkler, or fire protection industry

What Will Make You Stand Out?

You have formal trade school experience in plumbing, pipefitting, or mechanical trades.
You have experience working in a high-volume construction environment.
You have exposure to fire protection systems through previous work or coursework.

Beyond the Paycheck:

At Encore, we’re all about creating a culture where success is celebrated. We recognize that our work makes people’s lives safer, and we reward those who contribute to our growth. Here’s what you can expect:

Competitive Pay: Hourly rate based on experience with a performance-based bonus opportunity.
Tuition Assistance: Paid tuition for fire protection-related schooling needed to obtain licensing.
Purpose-Driven Work Environment: We believe in working smarter, not harder. You’ll be part of a culture that values results, and we empower our team to focus on impactful work.
Swag: High-quality company swag and attire (t-shirts, hoodies, jackets) – at least twice a year.
People-Focused Culture: We know our greatest strength is our people. That’s why we’ve built a culture that encourages experimentation, learning, and improving together. You’ll have the space to share your ideas and help shape a company that is constantly growing.
Tools for Success: Access to leading-edge web-based productivity tools.
Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your family healthy.
Retirement Planning: Participation in our Fidelity 401(k) plan with a company match, helping you save for your future.
Life Insurance: Company-paid life insurance policy of $50,000 to give you peace of mind.
