Step into a leadership role where your expertise directly drives project success, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction. As a Fire Systems Install Manager , you will lead the end-to-end delivery of electronic fire alarm solutions—overseeing installation teams, optimizing operations, and ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

This is an opportunity to own the delivery process , develop high-performing teams, and make a visible impact in a critical, high-demand life safety industry.

• Ensure flawless installations – Oversee all technical installation activities, including programming and system commissioning in compliance with codes and customer specifications

• Improve productivity and performance – Establish clear metrics, optimize processes, and continuously elevate team effectiveness

• Build and develop talent – Recruit, mentor, and retain top field talent while fostering a strong, collaborative team culture

• Champion safety excellence – Lead a safety-first culture, ensuring compliance with all corporate and regulatory standards

• Ensure compliance and quality – Maintain adherence to all codes, regulations, and company policies while driving best-in-class execution

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead critical life safety projects that make a real impact

• Work with advanced fire alarm technologies and complex installations

• High visibility leadership role with direct influence on operations and results

• Opportunity to build, shape, and grow a strong field team

• Backed by a respected industry leader with a strong pipeline of work
