About the role

CDM Smith is seeking a Fire Protection Engineer to join our team in the United States. You will develop fire protection designs, including water supply, hydraulics, and sprinkler systems, to protect lives and property. You will act as QFPE for federal projects, review designs for compliance with NFPA/UFC and local codes, and collaborate with sales and clients to define robust solutions. The role supports hybrid work across several offices, with travel as required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
