We Are Hiring for Careers, Not Just Jobs.
Prince George offers the ultimate lifestyle upgrade: a place where attainable housing costs essentially give you a raise, and a fifteen-minute commute gives you your time back. You can trade a cramped condo for a detached home and still have the budget to enjoy the 1,600 lakes and rivers within an hour of your doorstep. We are the Sports Capital of BC, a community that rallies around the Cougars hockey team and shops at local farmers' markets, yet still offers the big-city convenience of Costco and Superstore.
Your Base Camp for Northern Adventure
At Allpoints Fire Protection, we have set the standard for the industry in the North. While Prince George is home, your office is the vast beauty of Northern BC. You will see clients from Haida Gwaii to the Alberta border and from 100 Mile House to the Yukon. You will experience a diversity of work that few other roles can offer, providing safety and peace of mind to everyone from local schools and hospitals to remote mines and mills.
Culture & Growth
We know that true excellence comes from how we treat each other. We foster an environment defined by equal acceptance, mutual respect, and the unshakable belief that we are stronger together. We operate as a single, cohesive unit: every single person, from the office to the field, plays a critical role in our collective success.
We know that your growth is our growth; that is why we actively support your professional development with ongoing training and learning opportunities. This is a workplace where you are backed by a team that genuinely has your back, creating a space where you can speak up, share ideas, and do your best work without hesitation.
Fire Alarm Technician (Programmer)
You are the expert we have been waiting for. In this role, you aren't just a technician; you are the architect of safety. You will take ownership of the logic behind the life safety systems that protect Northern BC. You won't just be plugging in devices; you will be programming complex sequences of operation, solving high-level technical puzzles, and ensuring the absolute integrity of every system you touch.
What You Will Do
System Orchestration: Program, commission, and perform verification testing for complex fire alarm systems. You will interpret sequences of operation and translate them into functional, life-saving logic.
The Technical Authority: You are the go-to for advanced troubleshooting. From identifying basic electronic components to performing comprehensive system calculations, your work is the standard.
Code Mastery: You ensure every project is a masterpiece of compliance. You will apply and interpret CAN/ULC-524, 536, and 537 standards with precision, producing detailed reports and technical findings from the verification process.
Mentor the Next Generation: Share your logic. You will train and mentor other technicians on system components and maintenance, fostering the strength in unity culture that defines Allpoints.
Strategic Project Management: Oversee inspection activities and manage fire alarm projects from design interpretation to final sign-off, ensuring quality and compliance at every stage.
Explore the Territory: Embrace the travel. You will be on the road visiting client sites across Northern BC, requiring flexibility for travel and occasional after-hours work.
The Non-Negotiables
