Inspect building conditions in the field and identify features that do not comply with applicable life safety and fire protection codes. Photograph observed code deficiencies and clearly document each violation with written descriptions tied to the supporting images. Compile findings into organized documentation that communicates code issues clearly and professionally. Color-code and label life safety and fire protection drawings to accurately reflect required code elements and observed conditions. Essential Skills Proficiency in construction design and planning. Experience in fire protection design and life safety. Ability to conduct building inspections and interpret construction drawings. Skill in Fire Protection and Life Safety System Inspection. Additional Skills & Qualifications A degree in Construction such as Construction Management, Construction Engineering, or Construction Engineering Technology.

Strong communication skills for direct interactions with contractors and clients. Physical ability to climb ladders and fit into smaller spaces. Why Apply?

Join a top-performing, highly respected firm in a niche, stable industry focused on healthcare facilities across Indiana and Ohio. Work on meaningful, high‑impact projects that directly support safety and compliance within major hospital systems. Clear career growth path, with potential to transition from existing-building assessments into new construction, design review, and high‑profile projects (including billion‑dollar hospital builds). Structured travel schedule (typically one week in the field, one week in-office), with all travel expenses fully covered and minimal weekend requirements. Work in two-person teams for accuracy, mentorship, and ongoing learning - paired with highly knowledgeable staff who support your development. Relaxed, quiet, and supportive office environment on the west side of Indianapolis, balanced with hands-on field work for variety.
