Fire Systems Inspector careers

A Fire Systems Inspector is responsible for examining and testing fire protection systems to ensure they comply with safety standards and building regulations. This includes inspecting equipment such as fire alarms, sprinklers, hydrants, and smoke detectors in both residential and commercial properties.

Inspectors identify faults or non-compliance issues and provide detailed reports with recommendations for maintenance or upgrades. They may also work closely with building managers, contractors, and emergency services to ensure fire systems are fully functional and up to date. Strong attention to detail, knowledge of fire safety codes, and the ability to interpret technical documentation are essential for this role.

Fire Systems Inspectors often work for private fire protection companies or government agencies and are required to stay informed about changes in fire safety legislation and technology.
