Description
What will your new responsibilities involve? Here's an overview: Are you a talented organizer, enjoy working in a structured manner, are familiar with project work, and are quick to find optional solutions? Then this is the position for you!
Questioning: It is important to us that our engineers objectively question and examine all requests and steps throughout the entire project to determine their relevance.
Support in the creation of offers: As an expert, you determine the necessary steps so that Sales can offer these to our customers.
Creating project plans, including reporting: As a project engineer, you know that good, precise planning is key to success. Regular, condensed reporting to management is part of this.
Planning tests in internal/external laboratories: Coordination with our worldwide laboratories is necessary for the necessary tests.
Regularly reviewing and adhering to planned timeframes: Our projects are always time-bound. Of course, who likes to wait for their work? Therefore, each of our engineers is fully responsible for their own deadlines. Here, you could say that structure and order are key in this job.
Planning and conducting customer witness tests: Some tests cannot be performed in our own laboratories. Our engineers travel to the customer or external laboratories to conduct the tests on-site. Therefore, business travel is also part of the process.
Creating the necessary documentation: We also believe that no project can be completed without the necessary documentation! Especially as a certifier, our documents must be complete, up-to-date, and accurate. You've come to the right place if that's your thing!
Supporting management: e.g. during audits in the form of data revision, identifying potential for improvement, creating training plans, and later mentoring new colleagues.
Expanding customer contact and networking with customers: Networking is essential to providing our customers with the best possible service. As an expert, this is second nature to you.
Do you recognize yourself here? If so, we'd love to meet you!

About this role
UL Solutions is seeking an engineer to manage fire alarm control and detection projects from conception through certification and delivery. You'll own the full project lifecycle: developing technical solutions for sales proposals, creating detailed project plans with milestone tracking, coordinating testing across UL's global laboratory network, and traveling to customer sites for witness tests. Documentation and deadline management are central to the role—you'll be responsible for ensuring all certification materials are complete and accurate, and for keeping projects on schedule.
The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a related detection field, with hands-on experience in certification processes and project management. You should be comfortable questioning requirements critically, learning new technical topics quickly, and communicating clearly with customers, colleagues, and management across different regions. Expect regular international travel (roughly 25%) and the need to build and maintain customer relationships as part of delivering high-quality service. Strong English language skills, both written and spoken, are essential.
