  2. Technical and Compliance Expertise
    • Ensure all sprinkler and suppression systems comply with ASIB, SANS codes (including SANS 10139), SABS, and any relevant local or international standards.
    • Oversee the integration of detection systems with suppression platforms and advise on end-to-end system architecture.
    • Maintain strong knowledge of fire detection protocols, suppression technologies, control panels, alarm interface, and zoning requirements.
  3. Project and People Management
    • Manage a national team of sprinkler designers, project managers, and technicians.
    • Conduct regular project reviews, quality checks, and technical training interventions.
    • Provide mentorship and drive a culture of safety, performance, and compliance.
  4. Client Engagement & Support
    • Serve as the subject matter expert on all sprinkler-related client discussions, including high-value tenders, technical scoping, and escalations.
    • Collaborate with sales and account managers to increase market share in sprinkler and detection services.

Job Specification:

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Fire Technology, or equivalent.
  • ASIB Certification or Registered Competent Person for sprinkler systems.
