Familiarity with fire alarm and suppression systems, inspection software, and regulatory compliance documentation is typically required. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure accurate risk assessment, regulatory adherence, and clear collaboration with clients and emergency personnel.
