Fire Alarm Technician at Prime Partners

About This Fire Alarm Technician Role

Hey there! Picture us sitting down for a coffee, and I’m here to give you the lowdown on what it’s like to be a Fire Alarm Technician with Prime Partners. Now, let’s get real—this job can be a mix of thrilling challenges and rewarding successes. I’ve had days where we’re installing systems on a new commercial building, and everything just clicks into place. But then there are times when troubleshooting a tricky panel can test your patience. One of my favorite projects recently was a massive warehouse where we had to coordinate with multiple teams. It was a bit of a juggling act, but seeing everything come together was worth every minute.

What Your Week Actually Looks Like

So, what does a typical week look like? You’ll be knee-deep in installing and programming fire alarm control panels, smoke detectors, strobes, and more. We work mainly on new construction projects, and let me tell you, seeing a building come to life with our systems is something else. You’ll also be testing and verifying systems, ensuring they meet all the local and national fire safety standards. We work closely with general contractors and other trades, so teamwork is key. Our crew is tight-knit, and we all support each other to get the job done safely and on time.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

To thrive here, you’ll need hands-on experience with fire alarm systems—at least three years under your belt would be ideal. It’s not just about knowing the codes and standards; it’s about being able to troubleshoot under pressure. We value practical skills more than just paper qualifications. And honestly, having the right attitude goes a long way. If you’re someone who stays calm under pressure and enjoys solving problems, you’ll fit right in.

The Good Stuff

Now, let’s talk perks. The pay is solid—between $30.58 and $36.82 per hour, depending on your experience. There are always opportunities to move up, and we offer ongoing training and certifications to keep you sharp. Work-life balance matters to us, and we make sure you get the time you need to recharge. Plus, working with Prime Partners means being part of a company that genuinely invests in your growth. We’re not just building systems; we’re building careers.
