  • Utilize AutoCAD and Revit MEP to create and coordinate 3D BIM models with architects and engineers.

  • Assist in developing layouts for Fire Alarm Detection Systems, HPM leak detection, Toxic Gas Management Systems, and Security/Intrusion Detection Systems.

  • Ensure designs meet industry standards and client requirements, delivering accurate, constructible solutions.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience in life safety systems design, ideally in complex industrial or high-tech environments.

  • Proficiency with AutoCAD and Revit MEP.

  • Strong collaboration skills and ability to work across disciplines.

Ready to design systems that protect the future?

Apply today and bring your expertise to projects that matter. Bring your curiosity, talent for multi-tasking and collaboration, and extreme organizational skills and we'll help you grow, pursue, and fulfill what drives you - so we can make big impacts on the world, together.

  • High school graduate or equivalent

  • At least 10 years of Drafting/design experience

  • Systems design experience with Fire Alarm Systems, Voice Evacuation, Gas Detection, VESDA, Access Control, CCTV

  • NICET Level II certification

  • AutoCAD and/or Revit experience

Ideally, you'll also have:

  • 3-5 years of Revit design experience

  • Knowledge of IFC, IBC, NFPA 70, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and NFPA 72 Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

  • Knowledge of Fire/Life Safety systems and manufacturer's equipment
