The ideal candidate has 4+ years of fireproofing experience, 2+ years in a lead role, strong onsite project management, and the ability to recruit and develop crew members. Travel will be extensive.

• Run fireproofing projects independently in the field, away from an office or direct supervision, as the primary point of accountability on site.
• Source, recruit, interview, hire, and develop fireproofing technicians and laborers to staff projects.
• Manage onsite project execution: coordinate with general contractors, inspectors, and other trades; plan sequencing; manage manpower, materials, and equipment; report progress and change-order impacts to the project manager.
• Lead application of spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRM) and intumescent coatings in accordance with UL-listed assemblies and project specifications.
• Troubleshoot application, quality, and equipment issues in the field on larger, more complex projects to keep production and quality on target.
• Champion jobsite safety — enforce PPE and OSHA standards, lead toolbox talks, and ensure full compliance with codes and customer requirements.
• Document installations, thickness readings, and daily production for inspection and QA.
