> About the Job
As a Senior Fire Protection / Sprinkler Design Engineer at MEPCO (now part of Ethos), you will play a key technical leadership role in delivering high-performance, automatic fire suppression systems for complex, large-scale international projects across Europe. You will focus on mission-critical facilities such as data centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, and heavy industrial developments.
Working within a multidisciplinary environment, you will lead the fire sprinkler design process from concept through to fabrication-ready BIM models (LOD 400). You will combine deep hydraulic calculation expertise with advanced BIM modeling, prefabrication workflows, and international fire safety standards.
Responsibilities:
* Act as the technical lead for fire suppression system design delivery on complex international projects (data centers, pharma, industrial, healthcare).
* Perform and verify detailed hydraulic calculations in strict accordance with FM Global, NFPA, and EN 12845 standards.
* Develop detailed 3D BIM models for fire suppression systems in Revit up to high LOD levels (LOD 300–400).
* Lead interdisciplinary BIM coordination and clash detection processes using Navisworks to ensure fully coordinated, constructible design solutions.
* Produce construction, as-built, and high-detail fabrication/prefabrication (spool) drawings for installation teams and manufacturers.
* Review and check technical deliverables within the engineering team prior to client submission to maintain high quality standards.
* Perform equipment selection (fire pumps, alarm valve stations, specialized nozzles, control valves, and water storage solutions).
* Liaise with international client engineering teams, architects, BIM coordinators, and main contractors.
* Mentor and support mid-level and junior engineers within the fire protection team.
> About You
Technical Skills
* BIM & Software Mastery: Highly proficient in Autodesk Revit MEP and Navisworks Manage for advanced BIM modeling and clash resolution.
* Calculations: Expertise in hydraulic calculation tools and methodology (NFPA / FM Global compliant).
* Standards: Strong practical working knowledge of international fire codes, particularly FM Global datasheets, NFPA 13, and EN 12845.
* Documentation: Proven experience producing installation, prefabrication (spool), and as-built drawing packages
Experience & Qualifications
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Fire Safety Engineering, or a related discipline.
* Minimum 5–6+ years of hands-on experience in automatic fire sprinkler and suppression system design.
* Demonstrated track record working on complex or high-tech facilities (e.g., data centers, industrial plants, pharmaceutical facilities, hospitals).
* Professional English fluency (written and spoken) is required for daily collaboration on international projects.
Desirable / Advantageous (Nice to Have)
* Official NFPA certifications (e.g., NFPA 13 Training) or FM Global training.
* Experience with BIM automation tools (Dynamo, Python scripting) or point cloud data (Autodesk ReCap Pro).
* Professional registration / certification (e.g., Lithuanian Statinio projekto dalies vadovas / ekspertas certification or international CEng / NICET) as proof of technical seniority.
Soft Skills
* Strong technical leadership mindset with high standards for delivery quality.
* Proactive problem-solving skills and ability to resolve complex technical/BIM clashes independently.
* Excellent communication skills for representing the team in cross-border coordination meetings.
* Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple project deadlines efficiently.
* High attention to detail and commitment to quality.
