Fire Alarm Sales Executive
About The Position
We’re looking for a Fire Alarm Sales Executive to lead estimates, proposals, and customer negotiations for fire alarm installation projects across New Jersey. Don’t know much about fire alarm systems? That’s totally fine. Prior fire protection experience is helpful but not required. What matters most is your drive to learn, your work ethic, and your desire to succeed. The people who thrive in this role tend to be natural communicators—those who can spark a conversation with anyone and don’t quit until the job is done. If that sounds like you, we want to talk. Encore Fire Protection is an industry-leading, full-service fire protection company, serving over 30,000 customers down the east coast, from Maine to Louisiana. With over 2,100 dedicated employees, we deliver top-notch service to those who rely on us to save lives and protect property through state-of-the-art fire suppression, sprinkler systems, and alarm solutions. Our mission? To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen. The person stepping into this Fire Alarm Sales Estimator role needs to be a team player who can also operate independently. You’ll need a sharp eye for detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to keep pace in a deadline-driven environment. This isn’t a typical sales gig. Yes, you’ll be quoting jobs and working closely with customers, but you’ll also spend plenty of time collaborating internally—developing accurate proposals, managing technical details, and making sure everything aligns before a project begins. Expect to: Visit customer sites, take field measurements, and provide accurate estimates for new fire alarm systems Build detailed proposals and pre-engineered solutions based on code requirements and project needs Review construction documents and coordinate with general contractors or building owners to define project scope Work closely with project managers, designers, field technicians, and other sales team members Split your time—roughly 70% in the office, 30% in the field—meeting clients, assessing systems, and building relationships
Requirements
- Sales experience. You should have formal sales experience beyond retail or hospitality. Bonus points if you’ve sold services, not just products.
- A learning mindset. Fire alarm systems are technical. You don’t need to know everything now, but you have to be ready to commit to learning and improving.
- Tech competence. You need to be comfortable with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel. We also use Hubspot and ServiceTrade. We’ll show you the ropes, but you need to be willing to dive in and learn these tools quickly.
- Strong interpersonal skills. You’ll be building long-term relationships with customers, and they’ll count on you to be both an advocate and a trusted resource.
