You'll have the opportunity to:

Lead fire protection engineering and design projects from concept through completion

Provide technical leadership and mentorship to fire protection engineers and designers

Develop fire protection strategies for complex commercial, healthcare, institutional, and mixed-use projects

Lead and oversee fire protection system design, calculations, reports, specifications, and technical documentation

Interpret and apply applicable Canadian building, fire, and life safety codes and standards

What We're Looking For:

Senior Fire Protection Engineer





We're looking for someone with:

8–12+ years of fire protection consulting/design experience

Robust experience with building fire protection systems and life safety

Experience delivering commercial, healthcare, institutional, mixed-use, or other complex building projects

Strong knowledge of applicable Canadian fire protection and building codes and standards

Experience with sprinkler, standpipe, fire alarm, life safety, and/or related fire protection systems

Proven project leadership and coordination experience

Strong client-facing and communication skills

Experience mentoring and developing technical staff

An interest in business development and growing client relationships

Professional engineering/designation credentials (P.Eng or P.L Eng within the discipline)

Your Next Step Isn't Just Another Promotion. We're not looking for someone who simply wants an Associate title. We're looking for someone who wants to help build the business.

As an Associate, you'll have the opportunity to influence:

The projects the team pursues.

The clients the firm develops.

The people the practice hires and mentors.

The technical standards it operates by.





And the future direction of the fire protection discipline.

For the right individual, this role can provide a long-term path toward Principal-level leadership and potential ownership/equity.

Why Toronto?
Toronto is one of Canada's largest and most active building markets, with significant demand across healthcare, institutional, commercial, residential, and mixed-use development.

For an experienced fire protection professional, relocating to Toronto can offer something particularly valuable - the opportunity to step into a leadership position within a major market rather than simply competing for another senior technical role.

Whether you're currently based in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, or elsewhere in Canada, this could be an opportunity to make a significant career move. You wouldn't be relocating simply for another job. You'd be relocating for the opportunity to help build and lead a practice.

Relocation Support:
Candidates currently living anywhere across Canada are encouraged to apply.

Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate, with the specific package discussed based on experience and individual circumstances.

If you've reached the point where you want more leadership, more autonomy, greater client influence, and a clear path toward Principal-level responsibility, we'd like to speak with you.

Your next move doesn't have to be sideways. It can be a step up.
