Company Overview: 

At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the east coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,200 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day. Our goal is to deliver superior experience to those who trust us to safeguard what matters most. We are passionate about continuous growth, innovation, and maintaining a culture that thrives on success and commitment to safety. Our mission? To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen. 

We’re looking for a Fire Alarm Sales Estimator to lead estimates, proposals, and customer negotiations for fire alarm installation and service projects across Louisiana. Don’t know much about fire alarm systems? That’s totally fine. Prior fire protection experience is helpful but not required. What matters most is your drive to learn, your work ethic, and your desire to succeed. The people who thrive in this role tend to be natural communicators—those who can spark a conversation with anyone and don’t quit until the job is done. If that sounds like you, we want to talk.

The person stepping into this Fire Alarm Sales role needs to be a team player who can also operate independently. You’ll need a sharp eye for detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to keep pace in a deadline-driven environment.

This isn’t a typical sales gig. Yes, you’ll be quoting jobs and working closely with customers, but you’ll also spend plenty of time collaborating internally—developing accurate proposals, managing technical details, and making sure everything aligns before a project begins.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Visit customer sites, take field measurements, and provide accurate estimates for new fire alarm systems

• Build detailed proposals and pre-engineered solutions based on code requirements and project needs

• Review construction documents and coordinate with general contractors or building owners to define project scope

• Work closely with project managers, designers, field technicians, and other sales team members

• Split your time—roughly 70% in the office, 30% in the field—meeting clients, assessing systems, and building relationships

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

While we are looking for fire alarm experts—we’re also equally looking for people who can learn fast, work hard, and communicate well.

• Sales experience. You should have formal sales experience beyond retail or hospitality. Bonus points if you’ve sold fire alarm services, not just products.

• A learning mindset. Fire alarm systems are technical. You don’t need to know everything now, but you have to be ready to commit to learning and improving.

• Tech competence. You need to be comfortable with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel. We also use Hubspot and ServiceTrade. We’ll show you the ropes, but you need to be willing to dive in and learn these tools quickly.

• Strong interpersonal skills. You’ll be building long-term relationships with customers, and they’ll count on you to be both an advocate and a trusted resource.
