Job Description

ABC Fire Extinguisher, INC Is looking to hire our next team member in our Kitchen Suppression and Industrial Suppression System department.

This is an opportunity for someone who is willing to learn about the Fire and Life Safety Industry, while getting their hands on the administrative work that makes the machine hum!

ABC Fire Extinguisher, INC has been a fixture of the Portland Fire and Life Safety Industry for over 60 years, maintaining a local ownership and a small business feel. (We are not corporate!)

As the landscape of our industry grows, a major component that is becoming a permanent fixture to our work is the “reporting” to local governments. This role is going to support our technicians on the road with excellent communication, prompt response times and accurate attention to critical details. These are not lines to be brushed over while reading this job description, they are the keys to your success.

We are looking for a Systems and Permits Administrator to assist in the following areas:

• Submitting permits to local municipalities
• Creating detailed installation drawings (training provided!)
• Creating and submitting quotes for service upgrades
• Customer communication
• Submitting and reviewing reports from technicians completed in the field

If you have experience as a kitchen technician or other supervisor roles in this industry, that is always welcomed! It is not a requirement that you have extensive experience in our industry to be capable in this role. It is, however, important that you come into this role with an open mind and a willingness to learn how our company and team operate in this industry.

ABC Fire Extinguisher, INC is eager to invest in the right candidate by providing the following professional certifications and experiences:

• ICC Certificates
• Manufacturer endorsed trainings
• Oregon Fire Equipment Distributor classes and conferences
• National Association Fire Equipment Distributor classes and conferences
• Hands on shop training

A great candidate will have the following skills:

• Effective and patient communication
• A willingness to learn and grow in our industry
• Strong attention to detail
• Prompt response times to requests from external contacts
• Ability to multitask across the department

Helpful but not a requirement:

• Previous experience as a system technician
• Previous Fire and Life Safety Industry experience

This role is 5 days per week in the office (6AM-2PM, 7AM-3PM OR 8AM-4PM) with 40 hours at $20/hr plus monthly profit sharing. Details will be explained in the interview process about this payment schedule. Health, Vision, Dental and LTD/STD insurances are provided at a small cost to the employee- largely paid for by ABC Fire Extinguisher, INC.

ABC Fire Extinguisher values all of our employees as individuals. We "work in order to live" we do not "live in order to work" Each employee is responsible for managing their time well, and doing their job in a professional manner. We have a very progressive commission program so that persons who put effort into their work are well compensated. Health, Dental, Vision and AD&D Insurance MOSTLY paid by employer.
