Job description

Fire Fighting Foam Engineer

Buckeye Fire Equipment Company Kings Mountain, North Carolina Full-time | On-site (this is not a remote role)

About Buckeye

Buckeye Fire Equipment has been manufacturing fire suppression products for over a century, supplying portable extinguishers, foam concentrates, and pre-engineered systems to distributors and end users across the globe. Our Kings Mountain facility is where our products are engineered, formulated, filled, and tested.

The Role

We are hiring a Fire Fighting Foam Engineer to lead the technical work behind our foam concentrate and foam-based suppression product lines. This is a working engineering position—you will spend meaningful time in the lab and on the production floor, not just at a desk. You will own foam formulation, performance testing, listing and approval work, and continuous improvement of the products we ship.

The industry is in the middle of a generational transition away from fluorinated foams toward fluorine-free (F3) chemistries, and our customers are looking to us to lead them through it. This role sits at the center of that work.

What You'll Do
  • Develop, reformulate, and improve foam concentrates across Class A, Class B, AR-AFFF, and fluorine-free (F3) product lines
  • Run bench-scale formulation work and scale promising candidates through pilot and full production
  • Design and execute performance testing to UL 162, NFPA 11, NFPA 18, and applicable military and international specifications
  • Manage the listing and re-listing process with UL, ULC, FM, and other approval bodies
  • Partner with production, quality, and supply chain on raw material qualification, surfactant sourcing, and batch troubleshooting
  • Support customer technical inquiries, field issues, and application engineering for distributors and AHJs
  • Track regulatory developments (PFAS restrictions, state-level bans, EPA actions, international equivalents) and translate them into product roadmap decisions
  • Contribute to capital projects involving foam proportioning, mixing, filling, and discharge testing equipment
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Fire Protection Engineering, or a closely related field
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with fire fighting foam concentrates, fire suppression chemistry, or surfactant/specialty chemical formulation
  • Working knowledge of NFPA 11, NFPA 18, UL 162, and the broader regulatory landscape around PFAS and fluorine-free foam
  • Comfort moving between lab bench, production floor, and outdoor fire test pad—this is not a desk job
  • Strong experimental discipline: you design tests that answer the question, document properly, and can defend the data
  • Direct communicator who works well with operators, technicians, QA, and outside listing agencies
Nice to Have
  • Experience taking a foam product through UL or FM listing
  • Background with mil-spec foam (MIL-PRF-24385 / MIL-PRF-32725) or international equivalents
  • Familiarity with foam proportioning hardware (balanced pressure, around-the-pump, bladder tanks)
  • Prior work in a regulated manufacturing environment with statistical process control
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
How to Apply
