About this role
VSC Fire & Security is looking for a trainee to join their fire sprinkler installation team in Mobile. You'll start by learning the fundamentals of sprinkler system installation under direct supervision—beginning with site preparation, material handling, and staging, then progressing to pipe cutting, threading, and hands-on installation and testing work. This is a full-time, in-office role with overtime eligibility and a clear pathway into skilled trades work.
The position suits someone with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and genuine interest in learning a technical trade. Prior experience in construction, plumbing, or fire protection is helpful but not required; what matters most is your ability to follow instructions, communicate clearly, and commit to professional development. You'll need a valid driver's license with a clean driving record, as the role involves using company vehicles and working at heights with various equipment.
VSC Fire & Security backs this opportunity with solid compensation starting at $18–$28 per hour depending on experience, comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, company-paid life and disability insurance, and support for NICET certification.
