The Opportunity

As a Sprinkler Inspector, you will be part of our Advanced Test and Inspection Department and play a key role in making sure life safety systems perform the way they are designed to when it matters most. You will inspect, test, and maintain a wide range of sprinkler and suppression systems and help customers stay in compliance with NFPA 25 and local regulations.

 

This opportunity is available as both a full-time and part-time position.

 

This role is a good fit for someone who is steady, detail-focused, and comfortable working in the field. You will spend your time at customer sites, checking equipment, verifying operation, documenting what you find, and talking with customers about the condition of their systems and any next steps.

 

If you like clear expectations, hands-on work, and knowing that what you do each day directly impacts safety and reliability in the buildings you visit, you will do well here.

Key Responsibilities

You are the one people call when a system is leaking, a valve will not move, or an inspection turns up something that cannot wait. You sort out what is really going on, explain it in plain language, and leave the system in better shape than you found it. In this role, you will: 

• Service, test, inspect, and troubleshoot both basic and complex fire sprinkler systems.
• Perform routine maintenance and repairs with accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail.
• Look for issues where systems are not working properly or not meeting current code requirements and recommend what needs to be fixed or upgraded.
• Work with contractors, building maintenance staff, and internal office teams to schedule and complete service calls.
• Document what you find, what you recommend, and what you repair, in line with company expectations and NFPA standards.
• Take part in on-call rotations and respond to emergency service requests when needed.
• Follow all safety procedures and represent Encore in a professional way on every job site.

What You Bring to the Table

• High school diploma or GED required, with technical or industry related experience preferred
• Working knowledge of fire sprinkler systems, their components, and common tools used to service them
• Familiarity with NFPA codes and general fire protection standards
• Ability to read and understand blueprints and system drawings
• Strong communication and documentation skills for use with customers and internal teams
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and work at heights of 30 feet or more
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel within your assigned territory
• Experience operating lifts and an understanding of OSHA safety practices
• Professional, team-oriented mindset and a consistent focus on doing the job safely and correctly

What Makes You Stand Out

• You have Three or more years of experience inspecting, servicing, or repairing fire sprinkler systems.
• You have NICET certification in water-based systems inspection, testing, or layout.
• You have experience handling both routine inspections and more complex repair work.
• You are known for catching issues early, explaining them clearly to customers, and following through until they are fixed.
