Our operating companies design, install, inspect, test, service, and repair fire sprinkler, fire alarm, fire extinguisher, and special hazard suppression systems for general contractors, developers, property managers, and building owners.

Our core values guide how we operate: Customer First, Grit, Effective Communication, Own the Outcome, Take Pride in the Work, and Do the Right Thing.

We work almost entirely on other people's paper.

Our customers are sophisticated general contractors with their own subcontract forms, master and on-call agreements, and insurance exhibits.

Getting those documents right -- before they are signed -- is how we stay profitable and insurable.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS Today, every contract that comes in the door gets its legal and risk review from the CEO.

That means contracts wait.

A subcontract that sits for a week while the CEO is solving another problem costs us schedule, goodwill with the contractor, and occasionally the leverage to get a provision changed at all.

It also means our review depth varies with how busy the week was.

We have a written Contract Review SOP with defined positions on indemnity, insurance, liquidated damages, payment, delay, and termination.

The SOP is good.

The capacity to apply it consistently, on every document, within a few days, is what is missing, while balancing customer first centricity as our primary core value.

This seat fixes that.

You take the legal and risk review -- the redlines, the insurance exhibit analysis, the negotiation with the contractor -- and the General Manager or CEO keep the escalation decisions and the operational judgment calls.

The project manager keeps scope, schedule, and commercial alignment.

You own everything in between, and you own turnaround.

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a working review seat, not a supervisory one and not a legal one.

You do not need to be an attorne...
