About this role
VSC Fire & Security is hiring a Fire Sprinkler Fitter Trainee in Austin to join a company that has built its reputation on quality craftsmanship since 1958. You'll work under supervisor direction learning hands-on fire sprinkler installation—starting with material handling and site prep, then progressing to pipe cutting, threading, system installation, and testing.
