Job Description

Fire Alarm Systems Installation & Service Specialist

Picture your day starting at our Omaha shop: you review work orders, load up service parts, and head to a nearby commercial site. By mid-morning, you’re coordinating with the GC and other trades, pulling low-voltage cable, mounting devices, and programming panels. After lunch, you’re diagnosing a ground fault, closing out a preventative maintenance checklist, and updating the site contact on next steps. Before you clock out, you tidy up the van, reconcile inventory, and document everything so the next visit is seamless. If that rhythm excites you, you’ll thrive here.
