The Opportunity

We're looking for a Fire Alarm Superintendent to lead multiple ground-up multifamily construction projects throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

  • Attend jobsite meetings with general contractors and other trades
  • Program and commission fire alarm systems
  • Troubleshoot installation and system issues in the field
  • Coordinate materials, manpower, and project schedules
  • Prepare projects for AHJ and fire marshal inspections
  • Ensure installations meet NFPA, NEC, and local code requirements
  • Communicate project progress with Houston-based Project Managers
  • Build strong relationships with customers, contractors, and inspectors

  • Experience with new construction projects
  • Fire alarm programming experience
  • System commissioning experience
  • Troubleshooting and diagnostics experience
  • Inspection and testing experience
  • Experience managing subcontractors or field crews
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Valid driver's license
  • Willingness to travel throughout NC, SC, and VA


Preferred

  • Multifamily construction experience
  • Access Control experience
  • CCTV experience
  • Procore experience
  • Experience with one or more of the following:
  • Honeywell
  • FireLite
  • Silent Knight
  • Notifier
  • EST
  • Simplex
  • AutoCall (training available)


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary (approximately $90,000+ DOE)
  • Performance-based operations bonus program
  • $600 monthly vehicle stipend (preferred)
  • Gas reimbursement
  • Company vehicle available if needed
  • Company-paid hotels
  • Rental cars when necessary
  • Airfare when required
  • $35/day overnight per diem
  • Keep your hotel loyalty points
  • AutoCall manufacturer training
  • Long-term career growth with a rapidly expanding organization


Bonus Opportunity

This position participates in D80's operations incentive program.


Projects include an operations bonus pool, with Superintendents receiving the largest share based on successful execution throughout the project lifecycle. Bonuses are distributed as projects progress, rewarding ownership, quality, and successful completion.


Why Join D80 Systems?

  • Growing company with a strong pipeline of new construction work
  • Primarily multifamily projects—no retrofit work
  • High level of autonomy and trust from leadership
  • Fast hiring process
  • Opportunity to lead large, complex fire alarm projects
