Design Technician

Design Technicians use the latest AutoCAD software available along with industry specific integrated sprinkler design software SprinkCAD to design both new and remodel projects for fire suppression systems and fabrication. BIM coordination software is also used to identify conflicts in 3D model with architectural and mechanical systems.

• Design automatic fire suppression systems for new and existing building projects
• Perform System ACAD design layout based on architectural plans and project specification.
• Perform hydraulic calculations and system analysis to meet the water demand required by codes and system source supply.
• Prepare ACAD coordinate plans using BIM modeling and Navisworks to perform 3D coordination with other mechanical trades to reduce conflicts during construction phase of the project.
• Engineer wet, dry, double interlock pre-actions, deluge, AFFF foam type systems. Design and develop fire pump booster systems for high hazard type facilities.
• Apply code references from NFPA, Ohio Building Code Standards and International Codes.
• Prepare and submit plans to local building departments to secure required permits.
• Stock list and system fabrication.
• Field survey building conditions and structural steel components.
• Prepare fabrication sheets and detailed drawings for pipe fabrication.
• Stock list random materials and place orders with approved vendors.
