📋 Description

• Code Translation: Collaborate with multi-disciplinary stakeholders to interpret complex local and international fire code regulations, converting them into precise, actionable technical product requirements or permitting solutions. • Compliance Matrixes: Design, implement, and maintain exhaustive code compliance matrixes to extract and track definitive regulatory criteria across distinct deployment areas. • Deficiency Resolution: Proactively identify regulatory compliance gaps or unique local jurisdictional (AHJ) variances, developing robust technical workarounds and engineering solutions. • Risk Mitigation & Testing: Support operational aspects of corporate fire safety initiatives, validating safety parameters by defining how systems are modeled, configured, and full-scale tested for deflagration and fire propagation potentials. • Reporting & Visibility: Synthesize complex test data and compliance profiles into clean, visual dashboards and executive reports (using Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to drive data-backed storytelling for regional leadership. • First Responder Education: Develop, update, and actively conduct specialized training frameworks to prepare internal teams, client representatives, and regional Fire Departments on proper emergency/first-responder protocols during thermal events. • Technical Issue Management: Directly participate in technical issue resolution pipelines, streamlining communications to uncover root causes and quickly finalize systemic engineering adjustments. • Industry Leadership: Keep a continuous pulse on shifting global codes, codes-committee rulings, and energy storage safety benchmarks to consistently advance the baseline safety of regional product deployments.

🎯 Requirements

• Mandatory BESS Experience: Candidates MUST possess between two (2) and five (5) years of dedicated, direct professional experience in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Fire Protection Engineering. • Strict Exclusion: This position is centered entirely on clean energy tech, deflagration, and thermal runaway mitigation. Candidates whose background is limited primarily or solely to traditional commercial building fire sprinkler/suppression systems design will not be entertained or considered. • Regulatory Familiarity: Demonstrated knowledge of, or direct testing/certification exposure to, UL 9540, UL 9540A, and UL 1973 protocols. • NFPA Competency: Practical structural application of NFPA Standards 855 (Energy Storage Systems), 68 (Deflagration Venting), 69 (Explosion Prevention), 70 (NEC), 72 (National Fire Alarm Code), 110, and 111. • Core Engineering Design: Proven experience drafting core fire compliance documentation, engineering briefs, and running Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) fire or plume modeling simulations. • Analytical Problem Solving: Highly adept at isolating anomalies within complex data models and translating dense engineering restrictions into direct operational workflows. • Continuous Learning: A proactive curiosity and proven ability to rapidly master emerging software platforms, technical modeling tools, and evolving BESS criteria. • Required Qualifications: Formal Education: Minimum of an Undergraduate or Master's degree in Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent technical field with verified engineering experience. • Execution & Ownership: A relentless focus on execution characterized by deep personal ownership, independent execution capabilities, and a collaborative, forward-thinking mindset. • Communication Savvy: Outstanding public presentation and relationship-building skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment and clearly conveying complex hazards to non-technical audiences.
