  • Review and approve fire protection system designs and calculations; define design inputs and acceptance criteria for construction packages; review vendor submittals and ensure accurate as-built records
  • Establish and oversee inspection, testing, and maintenance strategies and frequencies; integrate impairment control, compensatory measures, return-to-service testing, reliability improvements, spares/obsolescence planning, and continuous improvement with Maintenance and Operations
  • Define acceptance tests and witness on-site testing; support startup and commissioning of fire protection and life-safety systems; manage configuration updates and as-built documentation at turnover
  • Coordinate with site emergency response and local agencies on pre-incident plans, drills, and lessons learned; support hot-work, fire-watch, and related permitting programs
  • Provide training and mentorship on program expectations, impairment handling, and code requirements; serve as a technical point of contact for EPCs and vendors
We'd Love to Hear From People With:
  • Bachelor's degree in Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline from an accredited institution
  • Professional licensure (PE) in Fire Protection or relevant professional certifications are a plus
  • 6+ years of fire protection engineering experience for industrial/process or regulated facilities (e.g., DOE, nuclear, chemical, or large manufacturing)
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply fire protection and life-safety codes/standards and integrate them with site procedures and worker-safety programs
  • Proficiency reviewing hydraulic and alarm/detection calculations, drawings, and submittals; experience establishing ITM programs and executing system acceptance testing
  • Strong risk-based decision-making, technical writing, and field presence; effective collaboration with multi-discipline teams, contractors, and regulators
  • Experience with special hazards (e.g., clean agents, flammable liquids/gases, high-energy electrical spaces, energy storage) is a plus
  • The ability to obtain and maintain a Q clearance
A Successful Candidate Brings:
  • Manufacturing/Assembly experience and/or aptitude
  • Experience with high vacuum systems and equipment
  • Lean manufacturing or Six Sigma experience
  • An active Q level security clearance
