This is an entry-level position ideal for someone who is mechanically and electrically inclined, dependable, and eager to build a career in the life-safety industry.

In this role, you will travel to commercial, industrial, and mission-critical facilities (such as data centers, telecom rooms, and control rooms) to inspect, test, and maintain special hazards fire suppression systems — including clean agent systems (FM-200, FE-25, Novec 1230, inert gas such as Inergen and Argonite, and CO2) and preaction detection and release systems. Your work ensures these systems are code-compliant and ready to protect people and property.

Key Responsibilities

• Inspect and test system components including agent storage cylinders, discharge nozzles, piping, releasing and control panels, detection devices, manual releases, abort stations, and alarm/notification appliances.

• Verify agent cylinder weights and pressures; check for leaks, corrosion, physical damage, and proper mounting.

• Test detection and releasing control panels, batteries, supervisory circuits, and interfaces with building fire alarm and HVAC/damper systems.

• Verify proper integration of suppression systems with building systems such as HVAC shutdown, door releases, power disconnects, and monitoring/central-station signaling.

• Document inspection findings accurately, note deficiencies, and complete inspection reports and service tickets in the field.

• Communicate professionally with customers on-site, explaining work performed and any issues discovered.

• Follow all safety procedures, lockout/tagout practices, and manufacturer guidelines when working around pressurized systems and energized equipment.

• Maintain company vehicle, tools, and test equipment in clean, working order.

• Assist senior technicians with system repairs, recharges, panel programming, and installations as directed.

• Escalate significant deficiencies or code issues to the Service Manager promptly.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.

• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (required — position involves regular travel to customer sites in a company vehicle).

• Mechanically inclined with the ability to use hand tools and basic test equipment.

• Strong attention to detail and willingness to follow procedures precisely — accuracy is critical in life-safety work.

• Good verbal and written communication skills for customer interaction and report writing.

• Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently once trained.

• Ability to pass a pre-employment background check and drug screening.

• Willingness to learn and pursue industry certifications (company-supported).

Preferred (Not Required)

• Prior experience in fire protection, fire alarm, HVAC, electrical, mechanical, or a related skilled trade.

• Familiarity with NFPA codes and standards.

• Progress toward or interest in NICET certification (Special Hazards / Fire Alarm Systems).

• Manufacturer training or certification (Fike, Kidde, Fenwal, Ansul, Janus, Xtralis, or similar special hazards / fire alarm systems).
