Overview
Our client, a growing engineering firm with a thriving portfolio of diverse projects, is seeking Fire Protection & Life Safety Engineers to lead impactful projects and shape the future of the business. This is a rare opportunity to join a company that values transparency, collaboration, and innovation — the opposite of a large, rigid corporate structure.

With ambitions to expand into new markets and potentially open branch offices, you’ll have a seat at the table in helping guide the company’s future.
Key Responsibilities
Lead fire protection and life safety engineering projects from design through completion.
Oversee project deliverables, including fire protection reports, code compliance, plan reviews, and egress/accessibility drawings.
Prepare, design, and supervise technical reports and drawings.
Manage client relationships and contribute to business development (approx. 30% of role).
Participate in weekly PM coordination meetings to ensure project deadlines and client satisfaction.
Mentor and collaborate with a skilled technical team to deliver high-quality outcomes.
Travel occasionally (1–2 months, mostly Western U.S.) for site visits, project kickoffs, or conferences, with minimal overnight stays.
