Preferred Industrial Experience Candidates with experience in:

Cement Plants | Steel Plants | Power Plants | Oil & Gas | Manufacturing Plants | Process Industries | Large Industrial Projects

will be preferred, particularly those who have worked on brownfield/live operating plants.

Key Requirement

> The candidate must be a hands-on technical specialist in Fire Alarm & Detection Systems—not merely a fire-fighting supervisor.

The core competency should be Fire Alarm Panel + Addressable Loop + Programming + Detection + Cause & Effect + Deluge Interface + Repeater/Fiber Communication + Commissioning + Troubleshooting + O&M.

Mechanical hydrant/fire-fighting installation experience is useful but secondary. The primary requirement is strong technical command over the Fire Alarm & Detection System.

Qualification: Diploma / ITI / B.E. / B.Tech. in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Fire & Safety or relevant technical discipline.

Experience: 4–5 years minimum; 5–8 years preferred for an independent site-lead role.
