About the job

An established engineering consulting firm with decades in the built-environment market is hiring a licensed Fire Protection Design Engineer for its Kansas City metro office. This is a design-and-lead seat, not a production-only role: you will own fire alarm and fire sprinkler performance design from schematic through construction documents, run projects, and be a direct point of contact for clients and authorities having jurisdiction. The project mix is unusually broad for a firm this size, spanning aviation, multi-family residential, justice/corrections, education, and more. If you hold your PE in fire protection and want ownership of real projects plus a path to mentor younger designers, this is a strong seat.Anticipated $100K-$135K, based on experiencePerformance bonuses paid at minimum once per yearBenefits include: 100% employer-paid employee medicalDental and vision coverage; 401(k) with match; PTO plus 9 paid holidays; flexible hoursFull-time, in-office, Kansas City metro.
