Reports to: Sales Support Manager

Salary Range: $62,400 – $83,200

*Salary based on experience and qualifications. Higher compensation may be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates with extensive fire alarm estimating experience and demonstrated industry expertise.

Job Overview:

Electronic Contracting Company (ECC) is seeking a knowledgeable and detail-oriented Fire Alarm System Engineer to develop accurate, competitive estimates and proposals for our growing Fire/Life Safety business. This position reviews project drawings, specifications, and customer requirements while working closely with Sales, Engineering, Operations, and industry partners to ensure solutions are code-compliant, properly scoped, and competitively priced. Candidates with fire alarm estimating, field, design, or project management experience are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities:

Review architectural, electrical, fire alarm, and life safety drawings, specifications, bid documents, addenda, and other project requirements.
Develop detailed material, equipment, labor, subcontractor, and other project cost estimates for fire alarm projects.
Perform accurate device counts and system takeoffs from construction drawings.
Determine required fire alarm equipment, devices, modules, power supplies, notification appliances, initiating devices, control equipment, and other system components.
Review specifications for system performance requirements, approved manufacturers, testing requirements, documentation requirements, and other project-specific obligations.
Evaluate existing systems and determine requirements for additions, upgrades, replacements, and migrations.
Identify scope gaps, conflicts, exclusions, assumptions, and project risks prior to proposal submission.
Obtain and evaluate manufacturer, distributor, subcontractor, and specialty vendor pricing.
Develop labor estimates based on scope, system complexity, installation, programming, testing, commissioning, and closeout requirements.
Prepare complete scopes of work, inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, and clarifications for customer proposals.
Review estimates with Sales and appropriate operational leadership prior to final proposal submission.
Participate in pre-bid meetings, site surveys, project walkthroughs, and scope-review meetings as required.
Assist Sales with technical questions and customer discussions during the proposal process.
Support value-engineering efforts while maintaining code compliance and project requirements.
Maintain accurate estimating documentation, pricing information, manufacturer information, and historical project data.
Assist with estimate-to-operations handoff following project award.
Stay current on fire alarm technologies, manufacturer products, applicable codes, and industry standards.
Manage multiple estimates and opportunities simultaneously while meeting bid deadlines.

Qualifications:

High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or technical education in electronics, electrical systems, construction, engineering technology, or a related field preferred.
Minimum 2-3 years of experience in fire alarm systems, fire/life safety, electrical construction, estimating, design, project management, or a related field preferred.
Working knowledge of commercial fire alarm system components and system operation.
Ability to read and interpret architectural, electrical, and fire alarm drawings and specifications.
Understanding of construction plans, specifications, bid documents, and project scopes.
Strong mathematical and analytical skills with the ability to develop accurate material and labor estimates.
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and standard business applications.
Ability to learn and effectively use ECC estimating, CRM, quoting, and project-management systems.
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and priorities.

Progression toward NICET Level II in Fire Alarm Systems is expected as experience and eligibility requirements are met.
Continued professional development and advancement toward higher NICET certification levels is encouraged based on responsibilities and career path.
Manufacturer-specific fire alarm certifications and training may be required based on the systems supported by ECC.
ECC may provide or coordinate appropriate training and certification opportunities based on position requirements and business needs.

Preferred Qualifications:
