• Service, test, inspect, and troubleshoot both basic and complex fire sprinkler systems.
• Perform routine maintenance and repairs with accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail.
• Look for issues where systems are not working properly or not meeting current code requirements and recommend what needs to be fixed or upgraded.

What Makes You Stand Out

• You have Three or more years of experience inspecting, servicing, or repairing fire sprinkler systems.

• You have experience handling both routine inspections and more complex repair work.
