    Fire Protection Technician, Fire Safety Technician
    The Fire Technician ensures that buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained to meet fire safety standards, helping to prevent fire incidents and protect lives and property.
    Fire Technicians in MMC play a critical role in adapting fire safety solutions for modular and offsite construction. This includes assessing fire resistance of prefabricated components, reviewing fire strategies within digital design tools, and ensuring that fire-stopping, compartmentation, and evacuation measures are properly implemented both in the factory and onsite. They also help integrate fire safety into rapid-build techniques and new materials.
