Full job description
We are building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each task starts from real drawings, documents and site photos, and asks for the same structured deliverable you would produce at work: an egress analysis, a correction list, a plan review decision. You author the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships.
What you would be building Tasks drawn from real fire and life safety review work, including: egress and life safety plan check, fire access plan review, fire alarm review from both the design engineer and the fire marshal seat, sprinkler review from the engineer, fire marshal and property insurer seats, hazardous materials control area review, fire occupancy video inspection, firestop penetration photo verification, and fire system inspection, testing and maintenance report review.
Who we are looking for You currently hold, or recently held, the seat that reviews fire and life safety design: fire marshal or fire prevention plan reviewer, fire protection engineer, or sprinkler and fire alarm designer-reviewer. Fire marshal appointment, NICET Level III or higher, or PE in fire protection. 3 or more years in the seat, US based, working to IBC, IFC and NFPA standards. We prefer 8 or more years. You can mark up plan sets and read hydraulic calculations and device layouts.
What makes someone excellent here The hard part is not citing the standard, it is knowing which occupant load, travel distance or coverage gap gets waved through. Standouts have usually trained junior inspectors or reviewers, written department correction language or an SOP, done acceptance testing as well as plan review, or worked across several NFPA editions and can say what changed and when it applies.
Probably not a fit Firefighters and fire officers without plan review or inspection responsibility, sprinkler installers without design or review work, alarm technicians who service rather than design systems, and general safety or OSHA specialists.
Paid hourly at $45 to $60 depending on experience, with a path to grow your rate as the project scales.
