Job Description
We are seeking experienced Fire Alarm Installation Technicians to join our team on large-scale commercial projects across the Denver metro area. This is a hands-on field role for technicians who take pride in clean, code-compliant installs and have a solid understanding of fire alarm systems from rough-in to final inspection.
Responsibilities:
- Install complete commercial fire alarm systems, including control panels, strobes, horn/strobe devices, pull stations, smoke and heat detectors, and duct detectors
- Run and terminate fire alarm wire (FPLR/FPLP) throughout commercial structures, including proper dressing, bundling, and support per code
- Terminate devices and panels neatly and accurately — including NAC circuits, SLC loops, and power connections
- Install and wire fire alarm control panels from manufacturers such as Notifier, Simplex, EST, Honeywell, or similar
- Bend and install conduit (EMT, rigid) for panel feeds and device runs; set junction boxes, device boxes, and supports
- Dress and label wire and cable in panels and pull boxes to a professional standard
- Coordinate with general contractors, inspectors, AHJs, and other trades on active job sites
- Perform rough-in and trim-out phases on new commercial construction and tenant improvement projects
- Follow NFPA 72 standards and local codes throughout all phases of installation
- Maintain clean, organized, and safe job sites at all times
Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience installing commercial fire alarm systems (panels, strobes, horns, pull stations, detectors)
- Proficiency in running and terminating fire alarm wire (FPLR/FPLP)
- Experience dressing and organizing cables in panels and enclosures
- Conduit bending and installation experience (EMT required; rigid a plus)
- Familiarity with NFPA 72 and local AHJ requirements
- Ability to read and interpret fire alarm drawings and riser diagrams
- NICET certification (any level) preferred but not required
- Low-voltage license or card (Colorado) is a plus. Comfortable working in active commercial construction environments — multi-story buildings, data centers, warehouses, and similar
- Strong attention to detail; takes pride in workmanship and code-compliant installs
- Dependable, communicates well, and works effectively with other trades
Compensation & Details:
- Pay Rate: $25–$30/hr depending on experience and certifications
- Work primarily within the Denver metro area
- Occasional short-term travel may be required; per diem and travel expenses covered
- Personal vehicle required; mileage reimbursement provided
If you're a technician who knows your way around a fire alarm panel, takes the time to dress your wire right, and wants to work on projects you can be proud of, we want to hear from you!
