About the Role

We’re partnering with a growing, specialist fire protection consultancy that focuses on fire and life safety code consulting for architects, developers, and building owners.

They are looking to hire a Senior / Principal Fire Protection Engineer who can operate as a true seller-doer — someone who combines strong technical delivery with the ability to build and grow client relationships.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role, working directly with leadership in a small but established firm that already benefits from ~95% repeat business. You’ll play a key role in both project execution and future growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead fire protection engineering and code consulting projects from concept through completion
Oversee design and review of fire alarm, fire suppression, and special hazards systems
Provide expert interpretation of IBC, IFC, NFPA, and local codes
Work directly with architects, developers, and owners as a trusted advisor
Manage and deliver multiple projects while maintaining high technical standards
Support and grow existing client relationships
Contribute to business development efforts, helping expand an already strong client base
Collaborate closely with leadership on strategy, delivery, and growth

What We’re Looking For

8–20+ years of fire protection engineering experience
Strong background in code consulting and system design
Experience working directly with clients in a consulting environment
Proven ability or interest in business development / client growth
PE license strongly preferred (or ability to obtain)
Strong knowledge of NFPA standards, IBC/IFC, and life safety design
Self-starter mindset — comfortable working remotely and taking ownership

Why This Opportunity

Fully remote role with a tight-knit, high-performing team
Work directly with company leadership and influence growth
Strong pipeline of work with ~95% repeat clients
Opportunity to step into a seller-doer leadership role
Performance-based incentives tied to both individual and company success
Ideal for someone who wants to move away from large corporate structures into a more agile, entrepreneurial environment

Who This Role Is Ideal For

A Senior FPE ready to step into a Principal-level role
A seller-doer who enjoys both technical work and relationship building
Someone looking to have real influence in a growing consultancy
An engineer who values autonomy, trust, and long-term growth
