Key Responsibilities

Technical Design & Analysis

• Develop detailed fire protection blueprints, including sprinkler systems, alarm networks, and smoke control systems.
• Perform complex fire and smoke modeling using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) to predict building behavior during emergency events.
• Conduct thorough risk assessments and fire hazard analyses for industrial and commercial developments.

Compliance & Consultation

• Ensure all designs strictly adhere to NFPA standards, IBC codes, and local Texas fire regulations.
• Provide expert technical guidance to project stakeholders to resolve design conflicts while maintaining safety integrity.
• Prepare comprehensive technical reports and safety documentation for regulatory approval.

Project Management

• Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly preferred.
• Certification in CFPS (Certified Fire Protection Specialist) is a significant advantage.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and specialized fire modeling software.
• Deep understanding of hydraulic calculations and ventilation system design.
• Experience with performance-based design (PBD) methodologies.

Soft Skills

• Exceptional communication skills for presenting complex technical data to non-technical clients.
• A self-starter mindset capable of managing a full workload in a 100% remote environment.
• Strong analytical thinking and a relentless attention to detail.
