Fire Protection Engineer Job Code: N07106A
Job Description:
Our client is seeking a person with a degree in engineering to design fire
protection systems for all types of commercial facilities and be involved
in technical sales activities. This position will provide the engineer
the opportunity to work on a wide variety of electrical and mechanical
engineering projects in
which some of the latest fire protection technology can be applied.
A typical project would include: conducting a job site survey, designing a
fire detection and/or suppression system to meet the customer's needs and
performing the calculations required to determine that the system will
perform as designed. The engineer would then submit the approved plans
(signed by AFP's P.E.) to the local fire
official for permit applications and would perform periodic job site
inspections to insure that the plans were being followed correctly. Upon
job completion, the engineer would arrange for inspection/approval by the
local municipality and then turn over all plans to AFP's System Service
Dept. for the scheduling of periodic inspections.
This position would also involve technical sales responsibilities,
including determining the viability of potential
engineering projects, preparation and tracking of project quotes and the
actual closing of sales for projects.
