Fire Protection Engineers (FPEs) protect lives and property. They plan and design engineering systems that prevent fires from occurring and minimize the impact of those fires that do occur. Fire protection systems detect, control and reduce fire and smoke in buildings and structures. FPEs recommend materials, equipment, and systems to assist in safeguarding life and property against fire, analyze how fire behaves and model how safety features perform in a fire. They assess the fire protection needs within projects and document them in design analysis or basis of design reports. They create design documents for fire protection systems, including drawings, using computer-aided design (CAD) or Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, and develop specifications that are used to direct the construction of buildings and systems in the field. FPEs perform construction progress inspections and witness acceptance testing / commissioning to ensure that installed systems comply with the construction documents, meet with applicable codes and standards, and function as intended.
As a Fire Protection Engineering Intern, you will work on finite tasks as part of a larger design team under close guidance and supervision of an experienced Fire Protection Engineer. These tasks may include, but not be limited to, building, fire and life safety code research, hydraulic calculations, layout of fire protection systems in REVIT or AutoCAD, field surveys, fire hydrant flow testing and writing technical reports.
