Fire Protection System Design - Senior Manager

Job Title: Fire Protection System Design - Senior Manager

Location: Gurugram

Experience: 7 to 10 years

Lead the design of life-safety systems that protect people and assets at scale.

We are looking for a seasoned fire protection engineer ready to step into a senior leadership role. You will own the end-to-end design of fire detection, suppression, and F&G systems for complex industrial and commercial projects — working to Indian and international standards including NBC, IS, OISD, NFPA, FM, UL, and GB. If you enjoy solving high-stakes engineering problems, mentoring teams, and being the go-to technical authority on projects, this role is built for you.

What You Will Own

System Design & Review
Design and review complete firefighting systems for industrial and commercial clients. Perform hydraulic calculations using PipeNet and FHC Canute. Prepare AutoCAD layouts, BOQ/BOM, technical specifications, and RFQs.

F&G Mapping & Detection 

Carry out F&G mapping on Detect3D and Effigy-Kenexis. Design fire and gas detection systems for high-risk environments across oil & gas, manufacturing, and commercial sectors.

Technical Reports & Audits

Prepare Design Basis Reports, gap analysis and audit reports aligned with NBC, NFPA, IS, OISD, FM, and UL standards. Write detailed technical reports based on design analysis and findings.

Team Leadership 

Serve as the technical escalation point for your team. Mentor junior engineers, lead design review meetings, and coordinate across engineering disciplines to ensure timely project delivery.

Client Engagement 

Participate in scope discussions and design review meetings directly with clients. Manage design and estimation phases from initial concept to final proposal.

Optimisation & Innovation 

Identify design gaps and propose practical solutions. Optimise fire protection designs for efficiency, reliability, and cost — tailored to each project's unique risk profile.

What You Bring

Must-Have:

• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Electrical, or Fire Engineering
• 7–10 years of experience in fire protection system design across industrial and commercial sectors
• Hands-on experience with PipeNet, FHC Canute, Detect3D, or Effigy-Kenexis
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for fire protection layouts
• Deep working knowledge of NBC, NFPA, IS, OISD, FM, and UL standards
• Experience designing fire suppression systems and F&G detection systems
• Ability to lead design reviews and manage multi-disciplinary teams
• Strong report writing and client communication skills
• Willingness to travel to project sites as required

Good to Have:

• Professional certification in fire protection engineering (e.g., CFPS or equivalent)
• Exposure to NFPA (Global), BS (European), GB (Chinese) standards for global project environments
• Experience in greenfield project design for oil & gas or heavy industry
• Familiarity with FM Global data sheets and approval processes

Why This Role

You will work on technically demanding projects across industrial, oil & gas, and commercial sectors — with direct impact on how fire safety systems are designed and delivered. As a senior manager, you will shape engineering standards within the team and grow your career on projects that genuinely matter.
