Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and manage fire protection projects from inception to completion, ensuring adherence to scope, schedule, and budget.
- Coordinate with designers, estimators, engineers, and field personnel to develop and execute project plans.
- Manage all project documentation, including contracts, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and closeout packages.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, contractors, AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction), and internal teams.
- Oversee procurement of materials and subcontracted services to meet project timelines.
- Conduct regular site visits to ensure work quality, safety, and adherence to plans and specifications.
- Monitor project financials, track costs, and report progress to leadership.
- Ensure compliance with all local, state, and national fire codes (NFPA 13, 14, 20, 25, etc.).
- Resolve project-related issues promptly and effectively to avoid delays or cost overruns.
Job Requirements
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field preferred.
- 3–7 years of project management experience in fire protection, mechanical, or MEP construction.
- Strong knowledge of fire protection systems including sprinkler, standpipe, and fire pump systems.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, project management tools, and scheduling software (e.g., MS Project, Procore).
- Experience with fire protection design tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or HydraCAD is a plus.
- Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
- NICET certification or PMP certification is a plus.
- Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel to job sites as needed.
