Fire Sprinkler Installation Lead (New Construction)

Location: Fort Mill, SC

Employment Type: Full-time, On-site (Monday–Friday, 40 hours/week)

A day in the life

You kick off the morning with a crew huddle, reviewing plans and plan symbols, aligning on goals, and confirming materials and lift access are ready. By mid-morning, you’re leading layout and installation for a new sprinkler system—routing pipe, hanging, and coordinating with the GC, building engineers, and property managers. After lunch, you’re verifying compliance with NFPA 13 and 25 and NC/SC Fire Code, correcting anything out of spec, and documenting code issues with recommended fixes. You wrap by testing, cleaning up, and ensuring the company service vehicle is organized, stocked, and ready for tomorrow.
