• Review drawings and technical documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Support project delivery from initial design through to construction and completion.
• Attend occasional project meetings, site visits, and coordination meetings in Colorado and Washington State.
• Manage assigned project responsibilities while working independently in a remote environment.

Required Experience

• Previous experience in fire protection engineering or design within an engineering consultancy or specialist design firm.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Revit, with the ability to produce and coordinate fire protection designs.
• Experience in fire sprinkler design, fire alarm design, or both.
• Knowledge of applicable fire protection codes and standards.
• Experience producing technical drawings, construction documents, and design packages.
• Ability to coordinate with other engineering disciplines and project teams.
• Strong communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working remotely and managing your own workload.

Preferred Qualifications

• EIT or PE qualification preferred, but not essential.
• Previous experience working on commercial, industrial, or other complex building projects.
• Experience with NFPA standards and relevant local building and fire codes.
• Experience coordinating designs using Revit and other engineering software.
• Equally if you come from a design background with NICET you can also apply

What the Role Offers

• Fully remote working arrangement from Colorado.
• Occasional travel to project locations and offices in Colorado and Washington State.
• Opportunity to work with an established engineering consultancy.
• Exposure to a variety of fire protection engineering projects.
• Flexibility to work across sprinkler design, fire alarm design, or both.
• Opportunity for an engineer with strong practical design experience to develop their career, regardless of whether they currently hold an EIT or PE.

If you're currently working as a Fire Protection Engineer, Fire Sprinkler Designer, Fire Alarm Designer, or in a similar engineering design position and would be interested in discussing the
