Fire Sprinkler Service & Retrofit Technician

Picture your day: you grab a freshly serviced FSF vehicle, scan your work orders, and head to a tenant improvement project in SoCal. You walk the site with a building engineer, spot a few code issues, update the plan, and get to work—adding heads, reworking piping, and verifying that when you leave, the client is satisfied and the system is compliant. That’s a typical day at Fire Safety First (FSF), where we’ve protected our communities for nearly 50 years and built a team that loves solving life-safety challenges together.

What You’ll Do

Install, modify, and repair automatic fire sprinkler systems across commercial and office environments.
Complete new installations using plan symbols and construction terminology with confidence.
Identify code violations and other non-compliant conditions; propose clear, effective fixes.
Execute tenant improvements (TIs), office build-outs, relocations, and additions to existing layouts.
Perform ladder work and operate scissor lifts safely.
Partner professionally with customers, building engineers, and property managers; collaborate as a strong team player.
Use and maintain a company-provided service vehicle—keep it clean, organized, and stocked with tools and parts.
Communicate clearly with teammates and leaders at all levels of the FSF organization.
Offer ideas that drive continuous improvement and efficiency.
Follow company policies and safe-work practices, including CAL OSHA requirements related to your work.
Pitch in on other duties as assigned.

What You Bring
