Ready to Step Up? You’ve mastered your craft. You know your nozzles from your nipples, your links from your pull stations, and you can recharge a cylinder in your sleep. You’ve kept restaurants, food trucks, factories, and fryers safe from fire — now it’s time to take your experience to the next level.
Charlotte Fire Protection is looking for a Manager / Lead Fire Suppression Technician — someone who’s earned their stripes and is ready for more. If you’ve ever said, “I could run this company better,” we want to talk to you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Lead suppression system inspections, installations, and repairs for commercial kitchens
- Mentor and train junior techs (yes, you will be managing teams)
- Communicate directly with customers and management — your input matters here
- Coordinate with scheduling and sales for smoother workflows
- Ensure compliance with NFPA 17A, 96, and 10, plus local codes
What You Bring:
- Your written plans to Manage and Pay technicians - the way you think is best
- 5+ years in commercial kitchen fire suppression (Ansul, Pyro-Chem, Kidde, etc.)
- South Carolina certification up to date
- Clean driving record and valid license
- Strong leadership instincts — or even better, some crew lead experience
- The ability to think on your feet (and maybe even in a kitchen after a suppression dump)
What We Offer:
- Promotion potential on day one — this is the next step
- Leadership training, certification reimbursement, and career development
- Weekly pay + commission and performance bonuses
- Company van, tools, uniforms, and a boss who actually did the job before
- A team that wants you to grow — and makes sure you’re home for dinner
