About the Role:
Our fire protection consultancy client in New York City is seeking a motivated Junior Fire Alarm Consultant to join their team. This position is ideally suited for early-career fire protection or electrical engineers who are looking to transition into a specialist fire consultancy role.
You’ll receive hands-on mentoring and structured training from experienced fire protection professionals, with a clear path toward becoming a fully fledged fire protection consultant. You’ll gain direct exposure to FDNY compliance processes, fire alarm systems, and on-site inspection procedures, providing a strong foundation in both the technical and regulatory aspects of the industry.
Key Responsibilities
- Support FDNY compliance activities, including inspection requests, documentation, and filing processes.
- Maintain organized records for fire alarm systems, emergency action plans, and fire protection documentation.
- Accompany senior consultants on field inspections across New York City, gaining real-world experience in compliance assessments and fire protection evaluations.
- Communicate with clients- including building owners, developers, and property managers- regarding basic inquiries and scheduling coordination.
- Begin training in fire alarm design and fire protection system consulting, with opportunities to assist in drafting, report preparation, and compliance review.
What We’re Looking For
- Recent graduate with a degree in Fire Protection or Electrical Engineering.
- Interest in specializing in fire protection consulting, code compliance, or FDNY regulatory processes.
- Willingness to work in both office and field settings, including occasional evening or weekend inspections.
- Strong organizational and communication skills, with a detail-oriented approach to compliance and documentation.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, or drafting software is beneficial, but not required- training will be provided.
No prior experience in fire protection consultancy is necessary, just a solid technical foundation and the drive to develop specialized expertise in this growing field.
