• Review inspection reports for accuracy, completeness, and compliance prior to submission to customers and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
• Work closely with Service and Sales teams to identify deficiencies, inspection renewals, and repair opportunities, ensuring a smooth transition from inspection findings to quoted corrective work.
• Support sales activities related to inspection contracts, new customers, renewals, upselling of testing and inspection services, and life safety compliance solutions.
• Assist in the development and execution of inspection-related sales strategies in alignment with company goals and objectives.
• Observe competitive activities in the areas of inspection pricing, contract terms, and customer service to maintain COSCO Fire Protection's competitive and profitable position.
• Participate in customer meetings, proposal reviews, and presentations as needed to support inspection sales efforts.
• Develop and maintain strong customer relationships by anticipating needs, resolving concerns, and providing technical and code-related guidance.
• Ensure all inspection proposals, contracts, and billing documentation are processed accurately and submitted on a timely basis.
• Lead, train, mentor, and evaluate inspection personnel to promote professional growth, accountability, and a customer-focused mindset.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Five or more years of experience in fire protection and life safety systems, preferably in inspection and/or service operations.
• Demonstrated sales experience or strong sales aptitude within the fire protection, life safety, or related construction/service industries.
• Proven ability to support revenue growth through contract renewals, customer retention, and identification of service and repair opportunities.
• Previous supervisory or management experience strongly preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of NFPA codes and standards as they apply to fire sprinkler, fire alarm, and life safety systems.
• Excellent leadership, organizational, and time management skills.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present inspection findings and solutions to customers effectively.
• Proven ability to manage teams and territories with minimal supervision.
• Strong customer service mentality combined with a results-driven, sales-oriented mindset.
