You'll perform annual inspections, diagnose and repair system issues, program panels, and keep our customers' life-safety systems operating at peak performance.

This is a hands-on role for a skilled tech who takes pride in doing the job right the first time.

• Find and fix shorts, ground faults, and wiring issues quickly and correctly
• Install and program new and existing fire alarm systems
• Troubleshoot and resolve alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions
• Pull wire, install raceways, mount and program control panels
• Identify risks to customers and provide effective solutions
• Conduct routine preventive maintenance on fire alarm systems
• Monitor and maintain inventory of service parts
• Create and submit inspection reports and expense reports
What You Need
• Fire alarm programming experience — required
• ~5+ years of experience in fire alarm installation, maintenance, or a related field
• Ability to use a tablet for reporting and documentation
• Valid driver's license
• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent
• Familiarity with hand and power tools
• Ability to handle a physical workload and carry/move equipment up to 50 lbs
• Strong troubleshooting and critical thinking skills
• Excellent work ethic, communication, time management, and attention to detail
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive pay based on experience and certifications, plus overtime.
• Company van — take it home. No commuting in your personal vehicle.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Full-time position with overtime available
• Scheduled on-call rotation — weekends and nights
• Occasional out-of-town travel with overnight stays (room and board paid for by City Fire & Safety)
• NICET certification preferred, but not required — we'll invest in the right person.
Requirements for Hire
• Able to pass a drug test
• Flexibility to work overtime and some overnight travel
• Dependable, hardworking, and ready to be a reliable part of the team
