• Take on project management for the work you sell, including some large, high-profile commercial projects
• Estimate related service work and smaller projects, including day-work
• Guide operations team members (design, field superintendents) during project execution

• Previous sprinkler design experience, including hydraulic calculations
• Fire sprinkler project management experience
