Fire Protection Engineer

Job Overview:

This opportunity is with a well-established engineering consulting firm seeking a Fire Protection Engineer to join their growing Texas team in a hybrid role based in Houston, Dallas, or Austin. In this position, you will support the design and analysis of fire and life safety systems across a diverse range of projects such as commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments. The role offers strong exposure to technical design, code consulting, and performance-based fire protection solutions, while working closely with multidisciplinary engineering and architecture teams.
