Dave Jones LLC · Onsite · Madison, Wisconsin, United States

We're looking for a Fire Protection Designer who's ready to take on more complex projects and more ownership. You're hungry to grow into bigger scope, deeper client relationships, and eventually a leadership path if that's the direction you want to take.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Design fire protection systems in AutoCAD, HydraCAD, HydraCALC, and HydraLIST, taking on projects with real complexity
  • Build hydraulic calculations and job specifications that hold up
  • Keep projects on track and on timeline, working independently more than you have before
  • Partner with Project Managers on cost estimation, budgets, and margins
  • Get out to job sites to scope projects from the ground up
  • Solve design problems as they come up, because they always do
  • Lead coordination meetings, sometimes solo
  • Mentor our Fire Protection Designer I team members when they've got questions
  • Be a go to resource for our Sprinkler Fitters in the field

Our Culture

We believe in being humble, hungry, and smart, not as a poster on the wall, but as how we actually work. Humble enough to ask questions and take feedback. Hungry enough to push for the next challenge. Smart enough to read a room and know how to work well with people.

Our core values guide everything we do:

  • Customer Focused
  • Excellence
  • Family
  • Forward Thinking
  • Giving Back
  • Work Hard, Play Hard

Requirements

  • An Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Fire Protection Design, Architectural Design, Mechanical Design, Interior Design, or a related field (not required if your experience speaks for itself)
  • 1 to 3 years of fire protection system design experience minimum
  • Eligibility to work in the United States
  • NICET Level II certification, or a willingness to obtain it while employed in the role, is a plus
  • A working knowledge of NFPA standards, building and fire codes, and building materials is a plus
  • Hands-on experience with HydraCAD, HydraCALC, and HydraLIST is a plus
  • Experience working with Project Managers on estimates is a plus
  • Experience supporting Sprinkler Fitters in the field is a plus
  • Experience leading coordination meetings is a plus

Benefits
