Fire Alarm Sales Executive
About The Position
At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the east coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,200 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day. Our goal is to deliver superior experience to those who trust us to safeguard what matters most. We are passionate about continuous growth, innovation, and maintaining a culture that thrives on success and commitment to safety. Our mission? To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen. We are looking for a Fire Alarm Systems Estimator who brings curiosity, confidence, and a natural ability to connect with people. The ideal candidate will guide customers through the estimating and proposal process with accuracy and professionalism. You do not need prior fire protection experience to excel here. What matters most is your willingness to learn, your commitment to doing the work, and your ability to hold a conversation while still driving toward a result. If you are competitive, detail oriented, and resilient, you will thrive in this role. This is not your typical sales position. You will split your time between field assessments and office-based estimating, working closely with internal teams to build accurate proposals and communicate effectively with customers. The technical learning curve is real, but the growth opportunity is substantial.

- A track record of building long term customer relationships and being viewed as a trusted advisor rather than a transactional salesperson.
- Experience using CRM platforms, estimating software, or industry-specific tools, and can pick up new systems quickly.
- Demonstrated the ability to balance multiple bids at once while keeping accuracy and professionalism high.
Responsibilities
- Meeting customers, conducting site surveys, and gathering accurate measurements and system information
