Team Leader -- Fire Hose Technician

Salary: $50,000 -- $57,000 annually (exempt) + $32/day per diem Schedule: Full-time, 8--10 hour days Location: 100% travel throughout the United States Start Date: January 2026 (interviews in progress)

About the Role

FireCatt is the nation's leader in fire hose testing. Our Team Leaders are working supervisors who travel with their teams to customer sites across the country. You'll drive the van, oversee equipment and Mobile Test Labs (MTLs), and ensure your team performs accurate, safe, and professional hose testing every day.

This is not a desk job. It's a physically demanding leadership role where you work alongside your team, guide daily operations, and represent FireCatt with customers, Scheduling, Fleet, and Operations. If you enjoy leading by example and want a role where your work directly supports first responders, this could be the next step in your career.

Minimum of 2 years of supervisory or leadership experience directing the work of others, providing feedback, and holding team members accountable

Physically capable of lifting 80--100 lbs, maneuvering fire hose, climbing on apparatus, and working outdoors in varying environments

Mechanical aptitude strongly preferred --- the role requires basic troubleshooting of equipment, vehicles, and testing components while in the field

Proven ability to lead by example, uphold safety and procedural standards, and address performance concerns professionally and promptly

Composed and solution-oriented in dynamic situations, including schedule changes, customer needs, and unexpected operational challenges

Strong organizational skills with consistent accuracy in documentation, receipts, reporting, communication, and adherence to procedures

Professional, reliable, and accountable; demonstrates sound judgment and follows through on commitments

Willingness to travel for 3--5 weeks at a time and work in close coordination with the traveling team

Benefits & Perks
