Investigate and recommend corrective measures for deficiencies in existing facilities. Typical design projects include Naval Shore Facilities, including multistory offices and quarters, hangars, hospitals, towers, aircraft overhaul facilities, piers, training facilities and a very wide diversity of other new and existing structures and facilities.

Analyze the applicability of fire protection innovative processes, systems, equipment, or techniques and implement such on projects and specifications.

Demonstrate knowledge of the latest fire protection systems and methods of construction.

Prepare correspondence, engineering studies, and technical reports regarding fire protection and Life Safety related topics.

Apply knowledge of detection and suppression system components and how such components are correctly installed or incorrectly installed.

Communicate effectively issues to technician level personnel responsible for the installation, testing, and maintenance of fire protection systems and system components.

Provide independent, timely and professional fire protection engineering support, services and consultation for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of facilities for the Navy, Marine Corps, and other Supported Commands, including minor works projects, specific projects, special projects, military construction (MILCON), demolition, maintenance, space utilization and facilities development.
