Due to continued growth, we are looking to add a Fire Protection Designer to our Coraopolis, PA team. In this role, you will design and lay out fire protection systems-including water-based sprinkler and special hazards suppression systems-preparing accurate, code-compliant drawings and hydraulic calculations that keep projects on schedule and communities protected.

  • Design and lay out fire protection systems, including water-based sprinkler systems and special hazards suppression systems, in accordance with applicable codes and standards.
  • Prepare detailed shop drawings, fabrication details, and hydraulic calculations using AutoCAD and related design software.
  • Perform field measurements and site surveys to verify existing conditions and ensure accurate designs.
  • Review project specifications, plans, and contract documents to determine scope and design requirements.
  • Coordinate designs with other trades, project managers, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to obtain permits and approvals.
  • Generate accurate material lists and bills of material to support procurement and fabrication.
  • Provide technical support to field installation teams throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Maintain organized project documentation and revise designs as needed to address changes or comments.

Qualifications
  • Associate degree or technical certification in a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Prior experience designing fire protection systems (water-based sprinkler and/or special hazards suppression) preferred.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD; experience with fire protection design software (e.g., HydraCAD, AutoSPRINK, or similar) preferred.
  • Working knowledge of NFPA standards (including NFPA 13) and applicable local codes.
  • NICET certification (Water-Based Systems Layout) or the ability to obtain it preferred.
  • Strong math, analytical, and problem-solving skills, including the ability to perform hydraulic calculations.
  • Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
  • Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.

Physical Demands & Work Environment
  • Primarily works in an office environment with periodic visits to job sites.
  • Must be able to sit for extended periods while performing computer-based design work.
  • Occasionally required to walk job sites, climb ladders, and navigate construction environments.
  • Must be able to lift and carry up to 25 pounds as needed.

The wage for this role is at least $70,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications.
As part of the DU Family of Companies, you will join a team that values safety, integrity, and continuous growth. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful opportunities for career development.
Why Choose DU Family of Companies?
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with company match.
