  • Review shop drawings for compliance with the design and participate in the development of fire protection engineering standards to ensure consistency and high quality in all projects.
  • Partner with cross-functional project team members to integrate fire protection systems with other building systems for a cohesive and efficient design.

  • Perform fire risk assessments and modelling, including egress modelling and fire dynamics simulations, to ensure the safety and efficiency of fire protection strategies.


What you bring

  • A University Degree or diploma in Fire Protection Engineering or Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Fire Protection, accompanied by a minimum of 5 years' experience in designing fire protection systems for commercial buildings, low/high-rise buildings, and multi-family residential buildings.
  • Strong communication skills are essential to effectively coordinate with inter-discipline teams, clients, vendors, and subcontractors, ensuring high-value engineering outcomes across projects.
  • In-depth knowledge and familiarity with fire protection industry codes and standards, including NFPA codes, and the ability to apply these in conjunction with client specifications for detailed fire protection system design.

  • Resilient and adaptable: You thrive in fast-paced environments and embrace challenges with enthusiasm rather than avoidance. Your resilience enables you to adapt to changing circumstances and emerging issues in fire protection engineering, ensuring project success and innovation.
