As a Fire Protection Designer II at HFA, you’ll play a key role in designing and hydraulically calculating fire protection sprinkler systems and fire alarm systems for a variety of commercial, industrial, and retail facilities nationwide. You’ll take ownership of your projects from start to finish—working under the direction of a licensed fire protection engineer—and be a trusted expert on design decisions, system performance, and code compliance. You’ll collaborate with other HFA disciplines—including architecture, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering—to create seamless, high-performing building systems. Designer will work with Fire Protection Engineer and/or Fire Protection Design lead to communicate with client, deliver completed construction documents, and assist in construction administration as required for most project types. Utilize education and experience to independently develop, implement, and draft construction documents for most project and/or project type (or at least major portions), as well as, solve medium to difficult design challenges that arise on a project or simple projects. Ability to apply their knowledge gained through experience and knowledge of recognized national standards to simple projects, with minimal oversight from Fire Protection Engineer or Fire Protection Design Team Lead. Designer should have a thorough knowledge of software assisting programs, such as HydraCad, and be able to apply throughout the design process. Designer should have a basic understanding of energy codes and how it impacts design. Designer should be able to design and draft fire sprinkler, fire alarm and fire protection underground supply piping systems, including riser diagrams, for small to medium projects.
