Technical & Soft Skills

Proficiency in fire engineering software such as PyroSim, FDS, or AutoCAD is essential for this remote position.

Responsibilities

Your day-to-day tasks will involve creating advanced fire models using computational fluid dynamics software to simulate real-world fire scenarios. You will review building blueprints and structural plans to identify potential fire hazards and recommend appropriate mitigation strategies.
