This role is ideal for a field leader who can take ownership of fire alarm installations, coordinate crews and subcontractors, and ensure work is completed safely, accurately, and according to project specifications. Key Responsibilities • Supervise and lead fire alarm installation crews on commercial construction projects. • Install, troubleshoot, and oversee fire alarm systems in accordance with plans, specifications, and applicable codes. • Read and interpret blueprints, construction drawings, fire alarm plans, and project specifications. • Coordinate installation activities with other trades, project management, and the General Contractor. • Ensure fire alarm systems are installed correctly and according to project requirements. • Review plans and identify potential installation issues before they impact project progress. • Manage daily field activities, manpower, materials, and installation schedules. • Monitor project progress and maintain quality and productivity standards. • Ensure all work is performed safely and in compliance with company and jobsite requirements. • Assist with inspections, testing, troubleshooting, and system turnover. • Communicate project updates, challenges, and material needs to project management. • Provide leadership and direction to installers and field personnel. Requirements Required Qualifications • Proven experience as a Fire Protection Superintendent, Fire Alarm Foreman, Fire Alarm Superintendent, or similar field leadership role. • Strong hands-on experience with commercial fire alarm systems. • Ability to independently read and interpret fire alarm plans and construction drawings. • Experience installing fire alarm systems based on plans and project specifications. • Previous experience working on large-scale commercial construction projects, ideally in the $3M–$5M+ range. • Hospital/healthcare construction experience is highly preferred. • Strong understanding of fire alarm installation practices, testing, and troubleshooting. • Ability to lead crews and coordinate work in an active commercial construction environment. • Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. Preferred Qualifications • NICET certification is highly preferred and considered a strong plus. • Experience with hospital, healthcare, institutional, or other complex commercial facilities. • Experience coordinating fire alarm installations with electrical, mechanical, and other construction trades. • Familiarity with applicable fire alarm codes, standards, and inspection requirements. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is a hands-on fire alarm professional who has progressed into a Foreman or Superintendent-level role and is comfortable taking ownership of large, complex commercial installations. Experience on hospital projects and $3M–$5M+ construction projects is especially valuable. This is not an entry-level position.
