- Complete annual, quarterly, semiannual, 5-year, and other required inspections
- Follow applicable NFPA standards, AHJ requirements, manufacturer requirements, and SI procedures

We’re Hiring at Multiple Levels
Developing Inspector
You already have hands-on fire life safety experience and understand the fundamentals.
You may still work alongside experienced technicians on more complex inspections, but you can reliably perform assigned testing, follow procedures, document your work, and continue building independence.
Independent Inspector
You can run assigned inspections with limited supervision, understand the systems you’re testing, identify deficiencies, complete reports, and communicate issues proactively.
Advanced Inspector
You bring strong NFPA 25 and/or NFPA 72 knowledge, can independently handle more complex systems and specialized testing, produce high-quality reports, and may help support QA/QC or developing technicians.

If you have real fire life safety experience but do not have every certification listed, we still want to hear from you.
