Apprentice Fire Sprinkler Inspector

FSS Technologies · Eagan, MN · 4 wk ago
On-siteInformation Technology$18–$25/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About FSS Technologies" (company description) and "Position Overview". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Qualifications), Benefits (What We Offer includes Pay, Benefits, Training, Equipment, Growth). Pay is part of What We Offer; we could have a Pay section if posting states pay. It does: "$18 – $25 per hour." So we can include Pay section. Benefits: they list medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance, paid time off, paid holidays. So Benefits section. Schedule: they mention full-time schedule may include early starts, overtime, occasional evening or weekend work, some overnight travel. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We also have Training and Development part; could be under Benefits or separate? The instruction says we can have sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Training could be part of Benefits or maybe we can include a Training section? Not listed but we could include if we want but they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Training is part of What We Offer; could be included under Benefits or maybe we can add a Training section but that would be thin. Better to incorporate training details into Benefits or maybe a separate "Training" heading not in list but allowed? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list; we could add other headings if needed. However they say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Training into Benefits or maybe into a "Growth and Training" section. But we have Growth also mentioned. Could combine. Simplify: Sections: About the role (Position Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Qualifications), Benefits (including Pay, Benefits, Training, Growth, Equipment). But they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. So we need separate Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections if we want to include them. However we could also include Pay inside Benefits but that would be mixing. Better to follow instruction: include Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections as they are present. Thus sections: About the role (Position Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Qualifications), Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Apprentice Fire Sprinkler Inspector". Good. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, commitment to inclusion, etc. Remove that. Also remove "About FSS Technologies" maybe we can keep as part of About the role? Actually "About FSS Technologies" is company description; we could incorporate into About the role section or maybe a separate "About the company" but not in list. Since they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can put company description under About the role heading. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content: About FSS Technologies: "FSS Technologies, LLC is a fire protection and electronic security company serving customers across Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Our teams install, inspect, test, and service fire sprinkler, fire alarm, and security systems that keep people and property safe." Position Overview: "The Apprentice Fire Sprinkler Inspector is an entry-level, field-based training position. You will work alongside and under the direct supervision of a qualified FSS inspector to inspect, test, and maintain water-based fire protection systems in commercial, industrial, and multifamily buildings, following NFPA 25 and the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). This is a trainee role. Until FSS confirms in writing that you are qualified, and only where state and local law allow it, you will not perform inspections on your own, sign inspection reports as the responsible inspector, or perform any work that requires a license or certification you do not hold." Essential Functions: list of duties. We need to put as
  • . The essential functions include several paragraphs; we can break into list items for each bullet? The text is not bulletized but we can treat each sentence as a list item? Better to group logically: Inspection and Testing, System Impairments and Customer Coordination, Documentation and Reporting, Safety and Vehicle Use, Training and Development. But those are headings within essential functions. However we are not to create extra headings unless needed. We could just make a list of each duty sentence. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep the paragraphs as

    and then list items for each bullet? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists. The essential functions section includes multiple duties; we can convert each distinct duty into a list item. Let's parse: - Help perform scheduled inspections, tests, and maintenance on wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, deluge, and antifreeze sprinkler systems, standpipes, and fire pumps. - Visually inspect sprinklers, piping, hangers, bracing, control valves, gauges, fire department connections, and signage, and look for leaks, corrosion, painted or loaded sprinklers, obstructions, and missing parts. - Help operate control valves and perform main drain tests, waterflow alarm (inspector’s test) tests, and valve supervisory (tamper) switch tests. - Help perform dry pipe valve trip tests, quick-opening device tests, air supply and low-air alarm checks, and fire pump tests. - Check antifreeze concentration, spare sprinkler cabinets, gauge dates, and other items required by NFPA 25. - Perform minor maintenance and corrective work as directed by your supervising inspector, within the limits of your apprentice status and applicable state licensing law. - Before any test, confirm with the building contact and the alarm monitoring company that the system may be tested, and follow FSS impairment procedures whenever a system is taken out of service. - Before leaving a site, confirm that every system you worked on is back in service, control valves are open and supervised, and the building contact and monitoring company have been notified. - Treat customers, building occupants, and site staff with courtesy and respect their property, schedules, and site rules. - Record inspection and test results accurately and completely in FSS forms or software, including photos of deficiencies. - Record only work that was actually performed and conditions that were actually observed. Falsifying, estimating, or copying forward inspection results is prohibited and is grounds for discipline up to and including termination. - Report deficiencies to your supervising inspector the same day, and report any condition that could prevent a system from working (such as a closed valve, frozen pipe, or major leak) immediately. - Follow the FSS Safety Program, OSHA requirements, and all site-specific safety rules, and wear required personal protective equipment (PPE). - Use ladders, lifts, and equipment only after you have been trained and authorized to use them. - Report every injury, near miss, property damage, and vehicle incident to your supervisor immediately, following FSS incident reporting procedures. - Drive a company vehicle between job sites safely and in compliance with FSS vehicle, fleet, and distracted driving policies. - Complete all assigned classroom, online, and on-the-job training, and keep an accurate record of your training hours. - Work toward NICET Level I certification in Inspection and Testing of Water-Based Systems within the timeframe set in your training plan, and toward higher levels after that. - Obtain and keep current any apprentice or trainee registration required by the state where you work. That's a lot but we need to preserve all substantive information. We'll include them as list items. Qualifications: Required and Preferred. We'll make a list for Required and maybe separate list for Preferred. Use
      • . We'll keep the text. Required: - At least 18 years of age. - High school diploma or GED. - Valid driver’s license and a driving record that meets the standards of FSS and its insurance carrier. - Basic math skills, including reading pressure gauges and performing simple calculations. - Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn how fire protection systems work. - Ability to use a smartphone or tablet to complete reports. - Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and to communicate clearly with coworkers and customers. - Successful completion of pre-employment screening after a conditional offer of employment, which may include a background check, motor vehicle record review, and drug screen, as permitted by applicable state and local law. Preferred: - Experience in a trade such as plumbing, pipefitting, HVAC, mechanical service, or fire protection, including military experience. - Vocational or technical school coursework. - OSHA 10-Hour Construction certification. - Experience with hand tools, ladders, and aerial or scissor lifts. Physical Demands and Work Environment: This is also substantive; could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in the list of headings but we could include under Requirements or maybe a separate "Physical Demands" section. However instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate Physical Demands into Requirements or maybe a separate section but that would be thin. Better to include under Requirements as part of qualifications? But it's not exactly qualifications; it's physical demands. Could be a separate section but we might avoid many sections. However we already have many sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Adding Physical Demands would be another section. Might be okay if we keep sections few. But we could incorporate Physical Demands into Requirements as a subsection? The instruction says use

        for section headings; we could have a heading "Requirements" and inside that we could have

        for physical demands? But they said use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Physical demands is a list; we could include it under Requirements as a list. So we can have Requirements section with two sublists: Required qualifications and Physical demands. But we need to keep structure clear. Simplify: We'll have Requirements section with two
            lists: one for Required qualifications, one for Physical Demands and Work Environment. And maybe also Preferred qualifications as another list. That's okay. Pay: "$18 – $25 per hour. Starting pay depends on skills, experience, and certifications. Because this position is non-exempt, you will be paid for all hours worked, including overtime as required by law." Benefits: "Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), life insurance, paid time off, and paid holidays, subject to the terms and eligibility rules of each plan." Also includes Training: "Paid on-the-job and classroom training. FSS covers the cost of required training and approved certification exams, subject to FSS training and reimbursement policies." Equipment: "Test equipment, tools needed for the job, and required PPE." Growth: "A defined path from Apprentice to Inspector and beyond, with eligibility for NICET certification premiums under the FSS program in effect at the time." We could
