Story 1:

"I started working in the shop,
now I'm a job foreman
with people reporting to me."

John Suarez, Foreman

"While working a construction job right out of high school, I learned about fire sprinkler contractors from working on job sites with them. I learned right away, it was one of the most respected trades."
"I started working in the shop. Then I took design classes. The more classes I took, the more I wanted to learn. Since then IÕve worked on large residential and retail projects. I learned quickly that fire sprinkler installers have an excellent opportunity for advancement and change. Now I'm a job foreman, with six people reporting directly to me. As a fire sprinkler installer, there's a real sense of accomplishment because I'm working in the construction field and installing a system that ultimately saves lives and protects property."
As a fire sprinkler installer your work protects people's lives. Job security, great pay and the opportunity to earn while you learn, no experience necessary.
