Perform fire safety inspections and code analysis to identify contributing deficiencies
Review hydraulic calculations and sprinkler system designs as part of loss assessments
Collect and preserve physical evidence, maintaining proper chain of custody
Coordinate lab analysis for accelerant detection, electrical failure, and equipment examination
Prepare clear and well-supported technical reports documenting findings and opinions
Perform fire simulation modeling
Support depositions, mediations, and litigation as needed

What You Bring:

Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or related field
10+ years of fire protection engineering experience, with 5+ years in forensic investigations
Active PE license required
Working knowledge of NFPA 921, NFPA system standards, and fire-rated construction requirements
Experience evaluating fire alarm systems, suppression systems, and conducting fire safety inspections
Familiarity with both public and private sector clients, including insurers, attorneys, and property owners
Experience with fire dynamics modeling tools (e.g., FDS)
Background in electrical failure analysis or equipment investigations
