Sprinkler Helper Jobs in Rhode Island (NOW HIRING)

The Opportunity
As a Sprinkler Inspector, you will be part of our Advanced Test and Inspection Department and play a key role in making sure life safety systems perform the way they are designed to when it matters most.

• Service, test, inspect, and troubleshoot both basic and complex fire sprinkler systems. 
• Perform routine maintenance and repairs with accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail. 
• Look for issues where systems are not working properly or not meeting current code requirements and recommend what needs to be fixed or upgraded. 
• Work with contractors, building maintenance staff, and internal office teams to schedule and complete service calls. 
• Document what you find, what you recommend, and what you repair, in line with company expectations and NFPA standards. 
• Take part in on-call rotations and respond to emergency service requests when needed. 
• Follow all safety procedures and represent Encore in a professional way on every job site.

What Makes You Stand Out
