Remote Fire Engineer – Nationwide – Join a Cutting‑Edge Safety Team!

“`html

Are you a certified fire protection specialist who thrives on solving complex safety challenges without commuting? Our client, a leading engineering consultancy, is expanding its virtual team and needs a talented Fire Engineer to design, review, and certify fire safety solutions for projects across the United States—all from a home office.

Salary Range

Competitive compensation aligned with industry standards: $70,000 – $95,000 USD per year, based on experience, certifications, and scope of responsibility. Performance bonuses and profit‑sharing options are also available.

About the Role

As a Remote Fire Engineer, you will become an integral part of a multidisciplinary design team that delivers fire protection engineering services for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities include:

• Developing fire safety concepts, calculations, and system layouts using NFPA, IBC, and local code requirements.
• Producing detailed fire protection drawings, specifications, and design reports in Revit, AutoCAD, or similar BIM platforms.
• Coordinating with architects, structural engineers, and client stakeholders through virtual meetings and collaborative platforms (Zoom, Teams, Miro).
• Performing fire dynamics modeling and smoke movement analysis with tools such as FDS or PyroSim.
• Reviewing contractor submittals, responding to RFIs, and conducting remote site inspections via video walkthroughs.
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to knowledge‑base articles for the firm’s internal fire safety wiki.

Key Requirements

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility preferred.
• Certified Fire Protection Engineer (CFPE) designation is a strong advantage.

Experience & Skills

• Minimum 3 years of hands‑on fire engineering experience, preferably in a consulting environment.
• Proficiency with fire design software (e.g., Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Navisworks) and fire modeling tools (FDS, PyroSim, CFAST).
• Deep knowledge of NFPA 13, NFPA 101, NFPA 5000, International Building Code (IBC), and relevant state amendments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear, concise technical documents for clients and regulatory agencies.
• Self‑motivated, highly organized, and comfortable managing multiple remote projects simultaneously.

Technology & Home‑Office Setup

• Reliable high‑speed internet (minimum 25 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload).
• Dual‑monitor setup recommended for efficient CAD work.
• Access to a VPN‑secured corporate network and collaboration tools (Microsoft 365, Slack, SharePoint).

What We Offer

• Fully remote work arrangement – no commuting, flexible schedule.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits, including tele‑health options.
• 401(k) plan with company match up to 5% of salary.
• Generous paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays.
• Professional development stipend for certifications, webinars, and industry conferences.
• Cutting‑edge software licenses and a home‑office equipment allowance.
• Inclusive culture that values diversity, equity, and continuous learning.

Why This Remote Position Stands Out

Our client has embraced a truly distributed workforce long before remote work became mainstream. Engineers are trusted to set their own hours, attend virtual design charrettes across time zones, and collaborate in a cloud‑first environment that eliminates geographic barriers. You’ll have the autonomy to shape fire safety strategies for high‑rise towers, data centers, and green‑building projects while enjoying the work‑life balance that only a remote role can provide.

Next Steps

If you are ready to apply your fire engineering expertise to innovative, high‑impact projects from the comfort of your home office, review the qualifications above and prepare your résumé, cover letter, and a brief portfolio of recent fire protection designs. Our recruitment team will reach out to schedule a virtual interview, discuss your career goals, and explore how you can contribute to a forward‑thinking engineering firm.
