Strong working knowledge of fire alarm, sprinkler, and fire suppression systems
Previous experience in a Contract Manager, Senior Operations Manager, or similar role
Commercially aware with experience managing budgets and margin performance
Confident communicator who can manage expectations and hold their ground
