Sprinkler Fitter Foreman
About The Position
D.C. Goodman & Sons is a full-service mechanical contractor specializing in the sale, installation, and service of mechanical, heating, plumbing, electrical, and sprinkler systems for commercial and institutional clients. We're hiring a Sprinkler Fitter Foreman to lead crews installing, modifying, and maintaining fire sprinkler and standpipe systems on commercial and institutional job sites. This role runs the day-to-day on-site work — laying out systems from blueprints, directing a crew of sprinkler fitters, and making sure installs pass inspection the first time — while also stepping in on service, retrofit, and occasional emergency repair work as needed. Ideal candidates have strong hands-on fire protection experience and are ready to take ownership of a crew and a job site, not just their own scope of work.
Requirements
- 5-8+ years of hands-on fire sprinkler installation experience, including prior lead or foreman-level responsibility
- Ability to read and work from fire protection blueprints and hydraulic calculations
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel between job sites
Nice To Haves
- Experience coordinating multi-trade job sites and managing crew schedules
- Experience with both new installation and service/repair work on existing systems
Responsibilities
- Lead and direct a crew of sprinkler fitters on commercial/institutional new construction, renovation, and retrofit projects
- Read and interpret fire protection blueprints, hydraulic calculations, and specs to plan layout and installation sequencing
- Install, modify, and repair wet, dry, pre-action, and standpipe sprinkler systems, including piping (steel, CPVC), hangers, valves, and heads
- Coordinate installation schedule and sequencing with other trades on-site (mechanical, electrical, sheet metal)
- Inspect and test completed work to ensure it meets NFPA standards, local fire code, and passes AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) inspections
- Respond to service calls and occasional emergency repairs on existing sprinkler systems
- Track crew hours, material usage, and job progress; communicate delays or issues to the Service Manager or Project Manager
- Enforce jobsite safety practices and ensure crew compliance with OSHA and company safety standards
- Train and mentor junior fitters and apprentices on proper installation techniques and code requirements
- Liaise with facility managers, general contractors, and inspectors on active job sites
