Job Description

Fire Life Safety Inspection Technician

$25-50/hour DOE | Full-Time | Field-Based | Tracy / Greater Bay Area

Position Summary

Simplified Integrations is growing our Inspection team and hiring Fire Life Safety Inspection Technicians across multiple experience levels — from developing inspectors with real industry experience to highly experienced technicians capable of independently running complex inspections.

You do not need to know every system or hold every certification.

We’re looking for technicians who have a solid fire life safety foundation, take pride in accurate work, communicate well, and want to continue developing their technical skills.

Your level, responsibilities, and compensation will be based on what you can confidently and safely perform today.

What You’ll Own

Depending on your experience and qualifications, you’ll:

Perform fire alarm, fire sprinkler, extinguisher, and other fire life safety inspections and testing
Complete annual, quarterly, semiannual, 5-year, and other required inspections
Follow applicable NFPA standards, AHJ requirements, manufacturer requirements, and SI procedures
Identify and clearly document deficiencies
Complete inspection reports, photos, testing results, and field documentation accurately and on time
Track missed or inaccessible areas and communicate follow-up needs
Communicate field issues and findings clearly with Operations
Represent SI professionally with property teams, customers, residents, and vendors
Maintain assigned tools, testing equipment, and company vehicle
Provide enough detail for our Estimating and Service teams to accurately address deficiencies
Continue developing your technical knowledge, certifications, and level of independence

We’re Hiring at Multiple Levels

Developing Inspector

You already have hands-on fire life safety experience and understand the fundamentals.

You may still work alongside experienced technicians on more complex inspections, but you can reliably perform assigned testing, follow procedures, document your work, and continue building independence.

Independent Inspector

You can run assigned inspections with limited supervision, understand the systems you’re testing, identify deficiencies, complete reports, and communicate issues proactively.

Advanced Inspector

You bring strong NFPA 25 and/or NFPA 72 knowledge, can independently handle more complex systems and specialized testing, produce high-quality reports, and may help support QA/QC or developing technicians.

Other applicable industry credentials

If you have real fire life safety experience but do not have every certification listed, we still want to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll likely do well here if you:

Take accuracy and compliance seriously
Pay attention to details
Complete your documentation, not just the fieldwork
Ask questions instead of guessing
Communicate early when there is a problem
Are reliable and show up prepared
Take ownership of your work
