Job Description

Job Description

Fire Door Specialist

Build the door. Know the code. Own the outcome.

Source Direct | Phoenix, AZ | Full-Time

Why This Role Exists

Fire-rated doors are essential to safe, code-compliant hospitality and multifamily buildings. Our clients need more options, faster turnaround, and products that meet demanding design and regulatory requirements. We’re building out our doors and hardware capabilities — and need a specialist who understands both the technical details and the full project lifecycle.

This is a hands-on opportunity to help shape customized door and hardware solutions, partner directly with customers and manufacturing teams, and turn complex specifications into products that can be built, delivered, installed, and certified.

What You'll Do

Door & hardware solutions

•  Develop customized fire-rated door and hardware solutions that meet client design needs and applicable fire-safety requirements

•  Review architectural drawings for door swings, frame elevations, jamb profiles, wall types, and hardware requirements

•  Interpret wood door, hollow metal, and architectural hardware specifications; coordinate technical literature and submittals for architect review

•  Help guide the lifecycle from design and manufacturing through shipment, installation, and certification

Project execution & coordination

•  Own organized project plans, milestone tracking, documentation, and clear communications across multiple active projects

•  Prepare or coordinate job orders, change orders, drawings, revisions, and installation or instructional materials

•  Review returned submittals, manage changes, and keep engineering and production aligned with contract scope and schedules

•  Maintain productive vendor and customer relationships; use Salesforce to support client and manufacturing coordination

•  Help develop short- and long-term goals and practical strategies for growth in our doors and hardware offering

What You Bring

•  Solid experience in Division 8 doors and hardware for commercial construction; knowledge of Division 10 is a plus

•  Working knowledge of fire-rated door assemblies, installation, inspection, and related compliance requirements

•  Ability to read architectural drawings, specifications, and hardware schedules, and translate them into buildable solutions

•  Experience with Comsense, Avaware, or comparable door and hardware estimating or management software is valuable

•  Architectural Hardware Consultant (AHC/DHI) or relevant fire-door installation or inspection credentials are a plus

•  Strong organization, problem-solving, and written and verbal communication; confidence making decisions across multiple projects

•  A related degree, trade-school training, or equivalent hands-on industry experience

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, and opportunities for global travel and career growth.
