About the role

We are hiring a Fire Sprinkler BIM Designer to produce and coordinate detailed fire protection models and shop drawings for commercial and multi‑unit residential projects. The role requires strong HydraCAD experience, knowledge of NFPA standards, and the ability to integrate sprinkler systems with all building disciplines.

Key responsibilities

• Model complete fire sprinkler systems in HydraCAD, including piping, heads, sleeves, and related components.
• Produce coordinated shop drawings based on engineer‑provided plans and update models as architectural or structural backgrounds change.
• Coordinate sprinkler layouts with architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems and perform clash detection using Navisworks.
• Prepare models that support prefabrication and efficient field installation, and review work for accuracy before submission.
• Address comments and revisions from sprinkler engineers and project managers, applying NFPA 13, NFPA 14, and other applicable standards.
• Maintain organized project files, documentation, and perform hydraulic calculations when required.

Required profile

• Experience on commercial or multi‑unit residential projects.
• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
• NICET certification or similar fire‑protection credentials is preferred.
• Ability to work independently, manage revisions with minimal supervision, and strong attention to detail.

Required skills

• Expert‑level proficiency in HydraCAD.
• Working knowledge of Autodesk Revit 2026 MEP.
• Proficiency with Navisworks for clash detection and coordination.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD for file conversion and legacy drawings.
• Understanding of NFPA fire‑protection standards (e.g., NFPA 13, NFPA 14).
