Role Overview

As a Fire Project Manager 1, you will lead complex installation projects in commercial, educational, healthcare, industrial, and military facilities.

  • Use Work in Progress meetings and project reviews to surface issues early, communicate candidly, and remove obstacles before they affect delivery.
  • Collaborate with customers, field teams, and internal partners as one team so priorities stay aligned and decisions move the job forward.
  • Look for continuous improvement on every project by tightening processes, capturing lessons learned, and improving margin where possible.

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Certificate or diploma in Fire & Life Safety, Electrical/Electronic, Security, or a related field.
  • 5 years of installation experience in fire, electrical, or security systems.
  • Ability to obtain Project Management Professional certification within two years of employment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
