Service Sales Representative – Fire Protection
Industry Standard Fire Protection | Phoenix Metropolitan Area, AZ
Full-Time | Outside Sales | Business-to-Business (B2B)
Join a Growing Fire Protection Company
Industry Standard Fire Protection is expanding our Arizona sales team, and we're looking for experienced, motivated sales professionals who know how to develop relationships, generate new business, and close sales.
We specialize in fire protection services, primarily serving multifamily communities while continuing to expand into other commercial markets.
We're seeking salespeople who take ownership of their results, work well independently, and enjoy building lasting customer relationships.
Experience in fire protection or multifamily properties is a plus, but not required. Strong sales experience and a proven ability to develop new business are what matter most.
What You'll Do
- Develop new business relationships with property management companies, apartment communities, commercial property owners, facility managers, and other potential customers.
- Identify, pursue, and close opportunities for fire protection inspection, testing, maintenance, and service agreements.
- Build and maintain a pipeline of new business through prospecting, referrals, networking, customer visits, and other sales activities.
- Develop relationships with decision-makers at individual properties, regional management companies, and larger commercial accounts.
- Identify opportunities to expand existing accounts through additional services, inspection agreements, and necessary system repairs.
- Prepare and present proposals in coordination with our service and operations teams.
- Manage the sales process from initial contact through agreement execution and customer handoff.
- Maintain accurate customer information, sales activity, and opportunities in our CRM system.
- Work toward established sales goals while maintaining strong customer relationships.
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 2 years of professional sales experience, with a demonstrated ability to generate business and close sales.
- Strong relationship-building, prospecting, negotiation, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently, manage your schedule, and take ownership of sales results.
- Comfortable initiating contact with prospective customers and developing new business.
- Strong organizational skills and consistent follow-through.
- Ability to use CRM systems and common business software.
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of business-to-business (B2B) or outside sales experience.
- Previous sales experience in fire protection, fire alarm, fire sprinkler, HVAC, security, electrical, plumbing, or other commercial building services.
- Experience selling recurring service agreements or maintenance contracts.
- Existing relationships within the multifamily housing or commercial property management industries.
- Experience working with regional property managers, facility directors, or commercial decision-makers.
Fire protection experience is valuable, but we're open to successful sales professionals from other industries who can learn our services and contribute to our growth.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
- Join an established fire protection business with opportunities to grow its Arizona customer base.
- Focus on building long-term business relationships rather than one-time transactions.
- Work with an experienced operations team that supports customer service and project execution.
- Have the opportunity to take ownership of your territory, relationships, and sales results.
- Help expand our presence in multifamily and additional commercial markets.
- Work in an industry where inspection, testing, and ongoing service are continuing customer needs.
Compensation & Benefits
Base Salary plus commissions and either car allowance or mileage along with typical health and dental insurance are avaliable
We'd Like to Hear From You

Fire Protection Engineer Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a fire protection engineer in Arizona?
To work as a fire protection engineer in Arizona, you need a Professional Engineer (PE) license issued by the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. The path starts with a bachelor's degree in fire protection engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and accumulating qualifying work experience before sitting for the PE exam. Some engineers also pursue NICET certification in fire protection to strengthen their credentials for Arizona employers.
How much do fire protection engineers make in Arizona?
Fire protection engineers in Arizona earn a median of about $106,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,950 for the lowest 10% to over $161,580 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire fire protection engineers in Arizona?
Employers hiring fire protection engineers in Arizona right now include Telgian Corporation, JENSEN HUGHES, and Cuhaci Peterson, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Arizona's strong semiconductor and healthcare construction pipeline means consulting engineering firms and specialty contractors with long-standing state contracts are among the most consistent sources of openings.
Which Arizona cities have the most fire protection engineer jobs?
Phoenix, Peoria, and Tempe account for the most fire protection engineer openings in Arizona. Phoenix drives the largest share due to its concentration of commercial construction, data centers, and healthcare campuses, while Tucson's defense installations and university medical complex support steady demand, and Scottsdale and Mesa attract openings tied to corporate headquarters and mixed-use development projects in the East Valley.
Are there remote fire protection engineer jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're limited. Fire protection engineering involves frequent site visits, field inspections, and coordination with local authorities, so fully remote arrangements are less common than in purely analytical fields. About 17% of fire protection engineer openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and the work most suited to remote arrangements includes code review, hydraulic calculations, and report writing rather than on-site inspections or construction administration.
How can I get hired as a fire protection engineer in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior or associate fire protection engineer role at a consulting firm, where you work under a licensed PE while logging the hours needed for your own licensure. Large Arizona-based engineering firms and national firms with Phoenix offices regularly hire new graduates into design support and drafting roles that build toward full engineering responsibility. Passing the FE exam before graduating signals readiness to Arizona employers, and internships with firms doing commercial or healthcare construction in the Phoenix metro are a practical way to get a first offer.
