Join The Eagle Fire Family

Sprinkler Technician Trainee

Having a family member in the life safety trade telling me about how cool it was, and focusing on that in college, it resonated with me and I realized this is what I wanted to do for my career. Once I started learning all the different systems, what they do and how they work, it interested me even more.

I really enjoy doing things I haven’t done before. It’s a big learning process and can be a bit scary worrying about messing something up, but It’s a good feeling once you get the confidence that you can do it.

I played baseball pretty much my entire life, all through high school and college. That part of being a team intertwines with being a part of Eagle Fire. We are very team oriented; no one is ever really alone. Whenever you need help you can call any of the other techs and they’ll walk you through something. That team aspect is huge for cooperating to get things done.

Technical Sales Representative

I started in the sprinkler business in the 90s. In 1997 I joined Eagle Fire. I started as a Sprinkler Technician, and worked my way up as a supervisor and now am a Technical Sales rep. I worked for 2 other sprinkler companies before I came to Eagle Fire.

The reason I came to Eagle Fire was the knowledge I saw their people possess. The knowledge I gained on what we were doing and why we were doing it was something I hadn’t experienced previously. We have the apprenticeship program, continuous education and senior technicians who have a wealth of knowledge that allow you to achieve your goals and be the kind of technician you want to be.

I enjoy being able to share this knowledge in my role in sales as well, educating the customer on what they need and why. We also stress doing things the way they need to be done, including meeting code and manufacturer’s recommendations, not taking the easy way out.

Project Specialist

In my role, I support internal operations projects. In a society where integrity is often compromised over profit or growth, it’s a very encouraging thing to work in an atmosphere where you are held to a higher standard of accountability. When you have other team members who demand that of you, it requires you to be more as a person and I have experienced that greatly at Eagle Fire.  At Eagle Fire our Core Values are constantly reinforced.

One of the things I love about Eagle Fire, every day is a little bit different, regardless of what role you are in. What doesn’t change however, is our commitment to our Core Values. Although we are a small company, there is great change that can happen by showing up every day and applying our Core Values.

Technical Sales Representative

Eagle Fire has been my home for 19 years. I couldn’t see myself working anywhere else. I came here as a technician, doing service and installation.  Within a few months we needed another EST 3 programmer so the company sent me down to a class so I could learn to program EST 3. Then several years later, our design department needed help, so I learned how to design Fire Alarm systems.

Then, a new Fire Alarm supervisor was needed. I was given the opportunity to move up into a supervisor role and have enjoyed that.  Now, I am in the middle of transitioning to a sales role.  I really like that Eagle Fire has given me the opportunities to learn new things. I tell new Team Members to be ready and willing to take any opportunity that is given to you so if Eagle Fire wants to send you to school, go to school, if they want you to learn a different department; learn the new department. Be open to learning new things.

Fire Alarm Technician

In 2020, I joined the Eagle Fire team as a Fire Alarm, Sprinkler, and Suppression Technician. Before coming to Eagle Fire, I did not have any fire sprinkler experience so I was excited to add sprinkler, suppression, and kitchen hoods under my belt.

Since Day 1, I have been very close to the team members. We were able to connect on a more personal level, which was something I had not experienced before. You can tell everyone really cared about each other and the work we were performing. There was a time when I was working out of state on a dry system that tripped and had issues setting it back up. I called the two main guys I worked with daily and they could hear my frustration so instead of trying to virtually coach me into handling the issue alone, they both drove down and walked me through what I did wrong. That is something I will never forget as it highlights our team-oriented culture.

This is a career that will always be here. The demand is there, supported by NFPA, you can get as much out of it as you want. If you want to make a difference, you have the opportunity. Life safety makes a difference.
