Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Gigantes Group Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year
Senior Fire Protection Engineer – Vancouver (Hybrid)

Location: Vancouver, BC (Hybrid)

Industry: Fire Protection Engineering Consultancy

Employment Type: Full-Time | Senior Level

About the Role

We're partnering with a respected Fire Engineering consultancy that's growing its team in Vancouver. They are seeking a Senior Fire Protection Engineer with strong code consulting experience, the ability to lead projects, and the confidence to serve as a technical resource for clients and internal teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned fire engineer looking for meaningful work across commercial, mixed-use, high-rise, industrial, mass timber, and institutional projects. If you enjoy solving complex life safety challenges and working in a collaborative environment, you'll thrive here.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead fire protection and life safety projects from concept to completion

  • Conduct building code consulting, alternative solutions, and performance-based design

  • Prepare technical reports, analyses, fire modelling, and code strategies

  • Coordinate with architects, engineers, developers, and authorities having jurisdiction

  • Provide mentorship and technical oversight to junior fire engineers

  • Represent the consultancy in meetings, presentations, and client discussions

  • Ensure compliance with provincial building and fire codes, national codes, and relevant standards

  • Support internal quality reviews and best practices across the Vancouver team

What You Bring:

  • PEng (Professional Engineer) designation in British Columbia (required)

  • Certified Professional (CP) designation is an asset

  • 7–20+ years of fire protection/life safety engineering experience

  • Strong background in code consulting and performance-based design

  • Solid understanding of the BC Building Code, BC Fire Code, NBC, and NFPA standards

  • Ability to lead multiple projects and deliver high-quality work on tight timelines

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact directly with clients and stakeholders

  • Experience working in a consultancy environment preferred

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Hybrid work model (Vancouver office + remote flexibility)

  • Opportunity to work on complex, high-profile projects across Western Canada

  • Strong career progression + leadership development opportunities

  • Supportive and collaborative team culture

  • Competitive compensation & benefits

If you're a fire engineering professional ready to take a senior role in a growing Vancouver market, we'd love to speak with you.
