SiteWorker is sourcing an experienced Fire Alarm Installer for an 8–12 week commercial installation project in Mesa, Arizona. This is hands-on rough-in and device installation work on an active jobsite — candidates should be comfortable working independently, reading basic plans, and coordinating with the site superintendent and other trades.

SCOPE OF WORK

•    Pull and route low-voltage fire alarm wire throughout the building per plan set

•    Mount and secure junction boxes at designated device and connection points

•    Cut in and install additional electrical boxes as needed for device relocations

•    Mount and rough-in the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

•    Terminate wiring at devices, panels, and junction points per manufacturer and code requirements

•    Maintain clean, code-compliant workmanship consistent with NFPA 72 standards

•    Coordinate daily with the site super and other trades to keep the schedule on track

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

•    2–4 years of hands-on fire alarm installation experience

•    Working knowledge of NFPA 72 fire alarm system requirements

•    Experience pulling wire, mounting junction/cut-in boxes, and installing FACPs

•    Ability to read and work from basic low-voltage/electrical plan sets

•    Own hand tools; reliable transportation to jobsite

•    Must speak English and demonstrate excellent spoken and written communication — this role requires clear daily coordination with site leadership

•    Comfortable passing a background check and drug screen as required by the general contractor

CERTIFICATIONS & LICENSING (ARIZONA)

Arizona does not require individual installers to hold a personal state license to perform fire alarm work under a licensed contractor. The following credentials are strongly preferred and will be prioritized:

•    NICET Fire Alarm Systems certification (Level I or II preferred) — not state-mandated for installers, but the industry standard and commonly requested on commercial jobs

•    Arizona Board of Technical Registration (BTR) alarm agent registration, if performing work independent of a licensed alarm business

•    OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 card

•    Ability to work under a contractor holding an active Arizona ROC license (C-16 Fire Protection or C-67 Low Voltage) — SiteWorker will confirm licensing coverage for this project

Note: Individuals do not need to hold the ROC license themselves — this project operates under the general/prime contractor's existing Arizona license. NICET certification is not legally required to install fire alarm systems in Arizona but is preferred by AHJs and speeds plan approval; candidates actively pursuing NICET Level I/II are welcome to apply.

COMPENSATION & LOGISTICS

•    Competitive hourly contract rate, based on experience — paid weekly

•    Per diem provided for candidates traveling from outside the Mesa/Phoenix metro area

•    8–12 week initial contract with strong potential for extension or follow-on projects for top performers

•    Local candidates strongly preferred; out-of-area candidates will be considered for the right skill set
