As a Fire & Gas System Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, development, validation, and commissioning of fire and gas detection and suppression systems for industrial applications (e.g., oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing). You will ensure compliance with NFPA and other international safety standards, leveraging deep field experience and controls engineering expertise.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, reliable, and compliant solutions that protect people, assets, and operations.
Responsibilities
- Lead engineering efforts for fire and gas detection and suppression systems in industrial projects
- Ensure compliance with NFPA, ISA, and relevant international codes and standards
- Design, analyse, and optimize fire and gas systems for reliability, efficiency, and safety.
- Develop specifications for detectors (smoke, flame, gas), suppression agents (CO , FM-200, water mist), and control panels.
- Perform risk assessments, hazard analyses, and safety studies (HAZOP, LOPA) to identify and mitigate fire/gas risks.
- Oversee installation, commissioning, and validation of fire and gas systems in the field.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues during operations and maintenance.
- Document engineering designs, calculations, and compliance reports.
- Collaborate with controls engineers to integrate fire/gas systems with plant automation and safety instrumented systems.
- Drive technical excellence and continuous improvement within the engineering team.
- Support training and knowledge sharing, leveraging expertise from technical seminars and field experience
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor s degree in mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering discipline.

- Field experience in installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of fire/gas systems.
- Strong knowledge of end-to-end system design, development, validation, and commissioning.
- Experience with controls engineering and integration of safety systems.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Master s degree in Engineering.
- NFPA Certified Fire Protection Specialist or equivalent certification.
- T V Functional Safety Engineer or similar credential.
- Experience with advanced suppression technologies (CO , FM-200, water mist).
- Participation in technical committees (NFPA, ISA, etc.).
Skill Descriptors
Analytical Thinking: Knowledge of techniques and tools that promote effective analysis; ability to determine the root cause of organizational problems and create alternative solutions that resolve these problems. Level Extensive Experience: Seeks discrepancies and inconsistencies in available information; explains variances. Organizes and prioritizes the sequence of steps to be taken to remedy the situation. Identifies many possible causes for a problem based on prior experience and current research. Quantifies the costs, benefits, risks and chances for success before recommending a course of action. Approaches a complex problem by breaking it down into its component parts. Chooses among a diverse set of analytical tools according to the nature of the situation.
Effective Communications: Understanding of effective communication concepts, tools and techniques; ability to effectively transmit, receive, and accurately interpret ideas, information, and needs through the application of appropriate communication behaviors. Level Working Knowledge: Delivers helpful feedback that focuses on behaviors without offending the recipient. Listens to feedback without defensiveness and uses it for own communication effectiveness. Makes oral presentations and writes reports needed for own work. Avoids technical jargon when inappropriate. Looks for and considers non-verbal cues from individuals and groups.
Managing Multiple Priorities: Knowledge of effective self-management practices; ability to manage multiple concurrent objectives, projects, groups, or activities, making effective judgments as to prioritizing and time allocation.
