First off, if this is inappropriate for the forum, please delete. I thought I'd put the word out where it would get the best audience and hopefully the best response.
We are looking at expanding our fire protection design group. It would be best if you were from this area as this will start out as a contract labor position with potential to go direct hire. We are looking for a experienced fire protection designer with at minimum a proficiency in AutoCad and the attitude and ability to learn other design software on the fly. Not much time and money spent in training here. Learn as you go. Yeah it sounds tough but if you're not up to the challenge just delete this and go back to reading Field and Stream. Detailed design is not the norm in this industry so the majority of work will probably be design criteria drawings. Occasionally we do provide full detailed engineering and use AutoCad MEP 3D and have started using Revit MEP. The ability to understand and interpret building and fire codes, NFPA Standards and other industry documentation is a plus and if you're not proficient in this, you will be, this is a big chunk of our design effort. The understanding of how to read and interpret MSDS information, perform hazard analysis' is also desirable. We don't do residential or commercial design, the projects we work on are often cutting edge, new technologies, special hazard operations which take some thinking out of the box at times and a lot of research. We also do some out of the box industrial stuff now and then and maybe an associated office building. The work is very diversified and challenging, schedules are maddening but the people are great to work with and our office is one of our major design centers so we have stayed busy even during the downturns of the last few years. If you are interested please e-mail me directly with a resume and work experience. No snake oil salesmen need apply. I don't have time to read puffed up exaggerated resumes, if you're not the real deal and can't back up your resume, don't send one. I'm also not looking for any manager types. Thanks, Craig L.
