Remote Fire Engineer – Global Safety Solutions – Ignite Your Career in Fire Protection

Join a forward‑thinking engineering team that designs life‑saving fire protection systems for skyscrapers, industrial plants, and critical infrastructure worldwide. As a Remote Fire Engineer, you’ll collaborate with architects, contractors, and safety experts across time zones, delivering innovative solutions from anywhere. This role blends technical expertise with impact, allowing you to shape safer environments while enjoying the flexibility of remote work.

About the Role

Our client, a leading international consulting firm specializing in fire safety engineering, is seeking a talented Remote Fire Engineer to expand its global project portfolio. You will lead fire hazard analyses, develop suppression system designs, and ensure compliance with international codes such as NFPA, BS, and EN standards. The position offers the chance to work on diverse projects—from high‑rise commercial towers to data centers—while contributing to mission‑critical safety outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive fire risk assessments and hazard analyses for a variety of building types.
• Design and specify passive and active fire protection systems, including sprinklers, fire alarms, and detection devices.
• Prepare detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and calculation reports using AutoCAD, Revit, and specialized fire‑modelling software.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, including structural engineers, architects, and project managers, to integrate fire safety solutions.
• Review construction submittals and conduct site inspections (virtually or on‑site when required) to verify compliance.
• Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of evolving fire codes, industry best practices, and emerging technologies.

Requirements

Our ideal candidate possesses a strong blend of education, experience, and technical skill:

• Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field (a Master’s degree is a plus).
• Minimum 3–5 years of professional experience designing fire safety systems for commercial or industrial projects.
• Proficiency with fire‑modelling tools such as CFAST, FDS, or PyroSim, and familiarity with AutoCAD/Revit.
• In‑depth knowledge of international fire codes and standards (NFPA, ISO 8511, BS 7974, etc.).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Self‑motivated, disciplined, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously in a remote environment.

Benefits

Working remotely doesn’t mean compromising on perks. Our client offers a competitive package designed to attract top talent:

• Salary Range: $45,000 – $65,000 USD per year, based on experience and market benchmarks.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• 401(k) with employer matching contributions.
• Generous paid time off and flexible holiday schedule.
• Professional development allowances for certifications, conferences, and continuing education.
• Remote‑work stipend covering home office equipment, internet, and ergonomic accessories.
• Team‑building retreats and virtual social events to foster camaraderie.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

In today’s market, fire safety engineers are in high demand as cities grow taller and industries become more complex. This role places you at the forefront of designing systems that protect lives and assets, while the remote format eliminates commute time and allows you to tailor your work environment to peak productivity. You’ll be part of a global network of experts, gaining exposure to projects across continents and industries. Moreover, the competitive salary and robust benefits package underscore the company’s commitment to rewarding talent that safeguards the built environment.
