    • Training: Provide training to clients and end-users on how to operate and maintain fire detection systems effectively. Offer guidance on best practices for fire detection system management, system administration, and troubleshooting procedures.
    • Customer Support: Offer technical support to clients during and after the installation process. Address any questions, concerns, or issues promptly and professionally to ensure customer satisfaction and retention.
    • Quality Assurance: Ensure that all installations meet quality standards and regulatory requirements. Conduct regular inspections and audits to assess the performance and reliability of installed systems and recommend improvements as needed.

    What we will need from you

    • Proven experience in installing, commissioning and integrating fire detection systems, including aspirating detection, beam detection and linear heat detection products. (Essential)
    • Strong technical skills in electrical wiring, system configuration/programming, and integration to 3rd party systems. (Essential)
