Fire Life Safety Estimator
Full-Time | Tracy, CA | $75,000-$100,000 Annually
Position Summary
Simplified Integrations is hiring an experienced Fire Life Safety Estimator to support our growing inspection and service departments.
We’re looking for someone who understands fire life safety — not just someone who knows how to build an estimate.
This role reviews inspection reports, deficiency lists, field notes, photos, drawings, and system information and turns them into accurate, complete scopes and estimates our customers can understand and our field teams can execute.
Strong working knowledge of NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 is important. You should be able to understand what you’re reading, recognize when information is missing, and know when to ask questions rather than make assumptions.
