  • Customer and Vendor Relationship Management: Maintain strong relationships with customers and vendors; serve as primary point of contact for escalations and issues, and monitor satisfaction.
  • Performance Monitoring and Reporting: Track, analyze, and identify trends for service metrics including response time, resolution rates, and inspection completion.
  • Operational Management: Oversee day-to-day service operations including invoicing, inventory management, work orders, and inspection documentation; ensure records meet industry and regulatory requirements.
  • Budget Management: Effectively manage the fire alarm service budget including resource allocation, cost-control measures, and service quality standards.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay current on alarm industry trends, innovations, and technology; identify and implement improvements to enhance service delivery and customer satisfaction.
What We're Looking For:
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or related field preferred; equivalent combination of education and experience considered
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in fire alarm systems or fire protection, including inspection, testing, and maintenance work
  • Leadership Abilities: 2+ years of experience in team management, coaching, and development of fire alarm professionals
  • Certifications: NICET III in Fire Alarm Systems preferred; NICET II considered with strong leadership experience
  • Code Knowledge: Working knowledge of NFPA 72 and NEC (low voltage); familiarity with water-based fire sprinkler systems is a plus
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency with Microsoft Suite and Google Suite; experience with service management or construction software (e.g., Viewpoint/Spectrum) is a plus
  • Customer Focus: Strong commitment to customer satisfaction with proven ability to manage complex customer relationships
  • Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to make sound decisions under pressure
  • Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; ability to effectively interact with team members, customers, AHJs, and senior management
  • Availability: Full-time position with occasional after-hours availability for emergency situations
  • Compliance: Drug screening and background checks will only be conducted after a conditional job offer is made. We evaluate criminal history based on its relevance to the job duties.
Perks of Joining Our Team:
  • Competitive Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match
