Senior Fire Protection / Life Safety Systems (LSS) Engineer
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced, analytical, and client-facing Fire Protection / Life Safety Systems (LSS) Engineer to provide code-compliant asset protection and fire life safety mitigation solutions for complex, high-impact facilities. In this role, you will act as a key technical contributor-providing guidance to colleagues, collaborating with senior design professionals, and ultimately taking ownership of diverse projects as the Engineer of Record.
This is a high-visibility engineering position for a seasoned professional who excels at multi-disciplinary coordination and regulatory code application. You will design comprehensive fire sprinkler systems, gaseous agents, fire detection, toxic gas detection, smoke modeling, explosion prevention, and security intrusion systems using advanced AutoCAD and Revit MEP BIM environments. If you possess a strong background in life safety engineering within advanced industrial or commercial facilities, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering Design & System Development
LSS System Design: Design comprehensive life safety and fire protection systems-including fire sprinklers, gaseous agent suppression, fire alarm systems, VESDA early warning systems, smoke/leak detection, and security/CCTV networks.
Calculations & Specifications: Prepare precise engineering calculations, equipment sizing and quantities, construction specifications, network diagrams, and constructible deliverables in 2D and 3D platforms.
Hazard & Gas Mitigation: Apply expertise in hazardous materials codes (NFPA 400), toxic gas detection, and explosion prevention to protect mission-critical environments.
Code Compliance: Ensure all engineering deliverables strictly align with applicable life safety and building codes, including IFC, IBC, NFPA 101, NFPA 72, and NFPA 70 (NEC).
Stakeholder Coordination & Project Management
Client & Agency Interface: Serve as a primary technical liaison, interfacing directly with client counterparts, project stakeholders, and state/local code officials.
BIM Coordination: Partner closely with architects, structural engineers, and mechanical teams within AutoCAD and Revit MEP environments to produce coordinated 3D BIM models.
Project Estimation: Support project planning by contributing to cost estimation, resource scheduling, and deliverable tracking for mid-to-large-scale projects.
Technical Guidance: Mentor junior staff, provide design direction, and review technical outputs to maintain exceptional quality standards across the engineering group.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Fire Protection, or equivalent) with the ability to attain Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.
Experience Baseline: Minimum of 4+ years of professional design experience utilizing AutoCAD within building services, electrical, or life safety engineering.
Technical Mastery:
oIn-depth knowledge and practical application of IFC, IBC, NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), NFPA 72 (Fire Alarm & Signaling Code), NFPA 70 (NEC), and NFPA 400 (Hazardous Materials Code).
oProven design experience with Fire Alarm systems, VESDA early warning systems, security CCTV, hazardous production materials (HPM), and leak detection.
oFamiliarity with fire alarm hardware, manufacturer equipment, and network signaling.
oExperience estimating and scheduling mid-to-large-scale engineering projects.
Core Competencies: Strong technical writing, communication, and presentation skills; proven ability to manage client relationships and coordinate multi-disciplinary design teams.
Preferred Attributes
Active Professional Engineering (PE) license.
Specialized design experience in semiconductor fabrication plants, cleanrooms, or enterprise data centers.
Prior experience leading projects, managing design resources, and mentoring junior engineering staff.
Working proficiency in 3D BIM coordination using Autodesk Revit MEP.
