Certifications & Licensing (Arizona)

Arizona does not require individual installers to hold a personal state license to perform fire alarm work under a licensed contractor. The following credentials are strongly preferred and will be prioritized:

• NICET Fire Alarm Systems certification (Level I or II preferred) — not state‑mandated for installers, but the industry standard and commonly requested on commercial jobs
• Arizona Board of Technical Registration (BTR) alarm agent registration, if performing work independent of a licensed alarm business
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 card
• Ability to work under a contractor holding an active Arizona ROC license (C-16 Fire Protection or C-67 Low Voltage) — SiteWorker will confirm licensing coverage for this project

Note: Individuals do not need to hold the ROC license themselves — this project operates under the general/prime contractor's existing Arizona license. NICET certification is not legally required to install fire alarm systems in Arizona but is preferred by AHJs and speeds plan approval; candidates actively pursuing NICET Level I/II are welcome to apply.

Compensation & Logistics

• Competitive hourly contract rate, based on experience — paid weekly
• Per diem provided for candidates traveling from outside the Mesa/Phoenix metro area
• 8–12 week initial contract with strong potential for extension or follow‑on projects for top performers
• Local candidates strongly preferred; out‑of‑area candidates will be considered for the right skill set
