Field Manager / Lead Fire Suppression Technician

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:

• 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
