Who We Are
At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the east coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,200 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day.
Our goal is to deliver superior experience to those who trust us to safeguard what matters most. We are passionate about continuous growth, innovation, and maintaining a culture that thrives on success and commitment to safety. Our mission? To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen.
The Opportunity
As a Fire Sprinkler Installation Technician, you will play a key hands-on role in installing, assembling, and maintaining fire sprinkler systems across commercial and industrial job sites. This position gives you the chance to work on a wide range of systems including wet sprinklers, dry systems, deluge setups, standpipes, fire pumps, and more.
You will work as part of a skilled team where craftsmanship, safety, and code compliance all matter. If you take pride in quality work, enjoy mechanical tasks, and want a career that keeps you learning and moving, this role is an excellent fit.
Key Responsibilities
Most days, you are turning plans, pipe, and fittings into working fire protection systems that people count on but hope they never need. You move between layout, installation, problem solving, and testing, keeping safety, quality, and code in view while the job keeps moving. On a typical project, you will:
  • Install, maintain, inspect, repair, and test wet systems, dry systems, deluge systems, fire pumps, standpipes, backflow preventers, hydrants, and related components.
  • Select the proper pipe type, size, fittings, and equipment based on project requirements.
  • Inspect work sites to identify obstacles and ensure installations do not compromise structural integrity.
  • Coordinate installation and repair work to avoid interference with other trades on site.
  • Cut, thread, groove, solder, and assemble metal and nonmetal pipes including steel, copper, and plastic.
  • Connect pipes using threaded, soldered, grooved, or cemented joints and secure them with brackets, clamps, and hangers.
  • Operate machinery and test systems to ensure proper installation and full operational performance.
  • Follow company safety standards, OSHA requirements, and jobsite rules at all times.
  • Maintain company vehicles, tools, and equipment in good working condition.
  • Work at heights using ladders, lifts, and scaffolding and lift up to 100 pounds as needed.
  • Travel overnight when required for specific projects.

What You Bring to the Table
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Two to five years of experience as a Fire Sprinkler Technician or related mechanical trade experience
  • Knowledge of NFPA 13, NFPA 14, piping networks, valves, and system layouts
  • Able to operate a Rigid 300 threader, groover, and common installation tools
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and layout drawings accurately
  • Strong problem-solving skills with high attention to detail
  • Excellent customer service and communication skills
  • Dependable team player with strong work ethic and commitment to quality

What Will Make You Stand Out?
  • You have trade school training in plumbing, pipefitting, construction, or mechanical systems.

Salary commensurate with experience with opportunity for a results-driven bonus based on personal output and effectiveness in role. Expected hourly range between $25 - $45 per hour.
Beyond the Paycheck
At Encore, we're all about creating a culture where success is celebrated. We recognize that our work makes people's lives safer, and we reward those who contribute to our growth. Here's what you can expect:
  • Competitive Pay: Hourly rate based on experience with a performance-based bonus opportunity.
  • Tuition Assistance: Paid tuition for fire protection-related schooling needed to obtain licensing.
  • Purpose-Driven Work Environment: We believe in working smarter, not harder. You'll be part of a culture that values results, and we empower our team to focus on impactful work.
  • Swag: High-quality company swag and attire (t-shirts, hoodies, jackets) - at least twice a year.
  • People-Focused Culture: We know our greatest strength is our people. That's why we've built a culture that encourages experimentation, learning, and improving together. You'll have the space to share your ideas and help shape a company that is constantly growing.
  • Tools for Success: Access to leading-edge web-based productivity tools.
  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your family healthy.
  • Retirement Planning: Participation in our Fidelity 401(k) plan with a company match, helping you save for your future.
