Job Description

We are seeking a detail-oriented Life Safety & Fire Protection Code Consultant to perform on-site code compliance assessments in healthcare facilities. This role involves traveling to hospitals to evaluate existing buildings for compliance with life safety and fire protection codes, documenting deficiencies, and producing accurate, well-organized deliverables that support compliance and corrective action.

The ideal candidate has a relevant Bachelors of Science, with minimal-to-no experience, as this team would rather train somehow on their company policies and procedures from the ground-up. This is a great opportunity for candidates looking to build their experience and career with a strong, competitive company in the Fire Protection field.

Responsibilities

Travel to hospital and healthcare facilities to conduct on-site life safety and fire protection code compliance reviews.

Review architectural drawings, building design documents, and life safety plans to understand existing building features and code-required elements.

Inspect building conditions in the field and identify features that do not comply with applicable life safety and fire protection codes.

Photograph observed code deficiencies and clearly document each violation with written descriptions tied to the supporting images.

Compile findings into organized documentation that communicates code issues clearly and professionally.

Color-code and label life safety and fire protection drawings to accurately reflect required code elements and observed conditions.

Essential Skills

Proficiency in construction design and planning.

Experience in fire protection design and life safety.

Ability to conduct building inspections and interpret construction drawings.

Skill in Fire Protection and Life Safety System Inspection.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

A degree in Construction such as Construction Management, Construction Engineering, or Construction Engineering Technology.

Open to travel, typically one week out and then one week in office, with occasional two-week travel for larger projects.

Interest in fire protection and life safety systems.

Strong communication skills for direct interactions with contractors and clients.

Physical ability to climb ladders and fit into smaller spaces.

Why Apply?

Rare entry-level opportunity to break into the life safety & fire protection industry - no prior inspection experience required, and the team prefers to train you from the ground up.

Join a top-performing, highly respected firm in a niche, stable industry focused on healthcare facilities across Indiana and Ohio.

Work on meaningful, high-impact projects that directly support safety and compliance within major hospital systems.

Clear career growth path, with potential to transition from existing-building assessments into new construction, design review, and high-profile projects (including billion-dollar hospital builds).

Structured travel schedule (typically one week in the field, one week in-office), with all travel expenses fully covered and minimal weekend requirements.

Work in two-person teams for accuracy, mentorship, and ongoing learning - paired with highly knowledgeable staff who support your development.

Relaxed, quiet, and supportive office environment on the west side of Indianapolis, balanced with hands-on field work for variety.

Great fit for candidates who enjoy problem-solving, building science, fieldwork, and seeing how real buildings come together.

Strong industry stability and consistent project workload, supported by long-standing client relationships and reliable funding.

Work Environment

This role will be split between field and office settings, with structured travel typically alternating between one week on-site and one week in-office. Travel primarily occurs within Indiana and Ohio, with all costs covered. Weekend work is rare, only when necessary for travel. Work is typically done in pairs to ensure accuracy, and the office environment is quiet and relaxed, focused on fast-paced production. The office is located on the west side of Indianapolis in a business park.
