Fire Alarm Install Sales

Overview

Company Overview

Encore Fire Protection is a full-service, industry-leading fire protection company with over 2,000 employees and more than 50,000 customers along the East Coast—from Maine to Louisiana. Our mission is simple: to passionately deliver a unique customer experience to those who rely on us to save lives and protect property through innovative fire suppression, sprinkler, and alarm solutions.

We’re looking for a Fire Alarm Sales Specialist to join our contracting division and help grow our fire alarm installation business across Western, MA. In this role, you’ll be responsible for generating new business, building lasting customer relationships, and developing accurate proposals for fire alarm system installations.

Don’t have a background in fire alarm systems? No problem. Experience in fire protection is a plus—but not required. We’re also open to candidates from related industries, especially those with strong ties to the construction world and a solid understanding of how projects get done. If you know the key players, speak the language, and know how to get in the door, you’ll fit right in.

More than anything, we’re looking for people who are curious, motivated, and ready to learn. The people who thrive in this role are strong communicators who know how to build trust, follow through on commitments, and keep projects moving forward.

What You’ll Do

• Prospect and build new customer relationships to identify fire alarm installation opportunities
• Visit customer sites, take field measurements, and assess project needs
• Prepare detailed estimates and pre-engineered proposals in line with local and national code requirements
• Review construction documents and coordinate with general contractors, building owners, and facility managers to define project scope
• Collaborate with internal teams—project managers, designers, and field technicians—to ensure smooth project transitions
• Split your time between office work and field visits

What You’ll Need to Succeed

We’re not necessarily looking for fire alarm experts—we’re looking for motivated individuals who are ready to learn, work hard, and make an impact.

Here’s what helps:

• Sales experience: Ideally, you’ve sold a technical solution or service—experience in fire alarm, low voltage, security, or related industries is a big plus
• Strong interpersonal skills: You know how to build trust, communicate clearly, and maintain long-term customer relationships
• Detail-oriented mindset: You’re comfortable reviewing construction documents and estimating project costs accurately
• Tech-savviness: Familiarity with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); we also use HubSpot and ServiceTrade—training provided, but you should be ready to dive in
• Self-starter attitude: You can manage your own time and priorities while staying aligned with broader team goals

What We Offer

At Encore, we’re hyper-focused on building a culture that thrives on success and is energized by the fact that we make people’s lives safer every day. We believe in rewarding hard work, supporting personal growth, and creating an environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

Here’s some of what you can expect:

• Competitive base salary plus a commission plan tied to your results
• Purpose-driven, results-oriented work environment (we value working smarter, not just harder)
• Flexible dress code—jeans most days, suits when needed. As long as you can read the room (or ask!), you’ll fit right in
• Encore gear for all new team members
• Snacks, coffee, and weekly office breakfasts or lunches
• A culture that encourages ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement
• Access to industry-leading web-based tools and platforms
• Participation in a Fidelity 401(k) with employer match
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage through Blue Cross
• Company-paid life insurance policy of $50,000
