About the Role

This role is for a purely technical Fire Protection Engineer — someone who wants to focus on solving complex engineering challenges without the pressure of sales or business development.

You’ll join a highly respected consultancy delivering technically challenging work across commercial, industrial, healthcare, mission-critical, and infrastructure projects. This is an ideal role for a senior engineer who enjoys deep technical involvement, design leadership, and mentoring — without carrying BD targets.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead technical delivery of fire protection and life safety engineering projects
• Perform detailed code consulting , life safety analysis, and system design
• Design and review fire alarm, sprinkler, smoke control, and special hazard systems
• Prepare technical reports, drawings, and specifications
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to junior engineers
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, and AHJs
• Ensure quality, compliance, and consistency across project deliverables

What We’re Looking For:

• 8–15+ years of fire protection engineering experience
• PE license in Fire Protection Engineering (required or in process)
• Strong technical background across NFPA, IBC/IFC, and local codes
• Experience working in a consulting engineering environment
• Desire to focus on technical excellence rather than sales or BD
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Why This Role:

• Fully remote, U.S.-based
• No business development expectations
• Work on complex, technically interesting projects
• Collaborative, engineer-led culture
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits
