Job Description

Looking for a company that values your skills, respects your contributions, and gives you the tools to thrive?

With more than 145 years as a family-owned business, we’ve built a reputation as one of the best mechanical and fire protection contractors in the country. We pride ourselves on delivering unmatched quality and innovation while providing you with job stability, opportunities for career progression, and support. 

This role will support our Chicago market but we are open to someone fully remote.

 

How you will contribute:

This is a great opportunity to demonstrate your organization and communication skills while overseeing project design progression from inception to completion including design, permits, as-builts, and operations and maintenance manuals. This position will develop a comprehensive design plan to meet schedules and budgets and participate in team and on-site progress meetings. Understand and follow all published codes, standards, and unique project specifications while ensuring AHJ requirements and procedures are followed. The ability to multi-task and prioritize among assignments with a strong adherence to deadlines will be crucial in this role. You will be challenged to excel beyond your expectations in a team-oriented, fast-paced environment.

 

What you need to qualify:

Ahern will make the most of your 3-5 years’ experience in the design of fire alarms or low-voltage systems. Previous experience working in Revit and AutoCAD is required. You can stand out above other candidates by having prior large project design experience, specifically in data centers. A commitment to providing exceptional customer service, maintaining cutting-edge industry knowledge and being able pre-plan and execute tasks with a great amount of detail will be crucial. NICET Certification preferred. Experience with Navisworks, Revizto, or other BIM tools is preferred. 

 


What’s in it for you?
At Ahern, we understand that life is more than just work - and we’re committed to supporting our employees in every aspect of their lives. Our comprehensive benefits package is designed to give you the flexibility, security, and support you need to thrive - at work and at home. 

Here’s how we stand out from the rest:

  • Top-Tier Benefits: Our 401(k) match and health benefits rank in the top 20% nationwide 
  • Incentives: A significant portion of our profits is shared with employees through bonus programs
  • Generous PTO with the opportunity to buy additional time off
  • Paid Parental Leave: Supporting you at every life stage with paid maternity and paternity leave
  • Mental Health Resources: Free, full-service mental health care for you and your family
  • Wellness Programs: Access on-site fitness centers, personal development funds, and more
  • Professional Growth: Take advantage of education assistance, training programs, and development opportunities to advance your career
  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy hybrid and flexible schedules to fit your needs

 

By joining Ahern, you’ll gain the stability of a company that’s been a leader in the industry since 1880, the pride of doing meaningful work, and the support of a team dedicated to your success. Don’t settle for just any job—experience what it’s like to work for the best!

 

Estimated Compensation: $35.90 - $47.74 plus bonus. Final offers based on education, experience, qualifications, and internal equity.

 

Ahern is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to providing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment.
