**About This Opportunity**

You’re not just designing systems; you’re designing safety for thousands. This is a chance to step into a technical leadership role with a nationally recognized engineering consulting firm, where your expertise directly shapes the fire and life safety strategies for some of the most critical and complex buildings in Texas and beyond. If you’re ready to move beyond routine tasks and want to see your technical vision realized on high-impact projects, this role is your next step.

**Your Mission: Senior Fire Protection Engineer**

You will lead the design and analysis of comprehensive fire and life safety systems from concept through completion. Your portfolio will be diverse and challenging, spanning commercial and government buildings, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites.

A key part of your success will be collaboration. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, acting as the fire protection subject matter expert. Your day-to-day will blend deep technical work with client-facing consultation, offering a perfect mix for an engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and seeing their solutions implemented in the real world.

**You Bring the Expertise**

We’re looking for a licensed professional with a foundation built on experience and a passion for the craft. Your background likely includes:

* A Bachelor’s in Engineering and an active Professional Engineer (PE) license, ideally in Fire Protection Engineering.
* 9+ years of hands-on experience in fire protection engineering design or consulting.
* Deep, practical knowledge of NFPA, ICC, and relevant building/fire codes.
* Proven experience designing fire suppression and alarm systems.

**Grow With Us**

This is a hybrid position based in Houston, Texas. We see this as a pivotal role for our growing Texas team. Your growth path is clear: beyond technical excellence, you will have the opportunity to help expand the department and advance into a management position, shaping the future of the practice.
