Full job description

Nor-West Firestop (BC) Inc. is a British Columbia–based contractor specializing in passive fire protection and firestopping services for commercial, institutional, and multi-residential construction projects. We install code-compliant firestop systems that prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through penetrations and joints in fire-rated assemblies. Our team is committed to quality workmanship, jobsite safety, and full compliance with the BC Building Code, the National Building Code of Canada, and applicable ULC/UL listed firestop systems.

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Firestop Installer to join our team. In this role you will be responsible for the installation of through-penetration firestop systems, joint firestop systems, and perimeter fire containment systems in new and existing buildings. Work covers three main categories: mechanical firestopping (around pipes, ducts, and HVAC penetrations), electrical firestopping (around conduits, cable trays, bus ducts, and power/data cabling), and architectural firestopping (head-of-wall, bottom-of-wall, joints, control joints, expansion joints, and openings in fire-rated walls and floors). Working from blueprints, shop drawings, and manufacturer-listed system details, the incumbent applies firestop sealants, mortars, intumescent products, putty pads, wraps, collars, and pillows to maintain the fire-resistance rating of walls, floors, and ceiling assemblies. The position requires close coordination with general contractors, electrical and mechanical trades, and inspection authorities.

Hours of work are 40 hours a week at $38.25 per hour. Union wages, extended health, benefits and pension are as per collective agreement.

Main Duties, Specializations and Responsibilities

General Firestop Installation

Read and interpret blueprints, architectural drawings, shop drawings, and ULC/UL/cUL listed system details to determine the correct firestop system, materials, and assembly requirements for each penetration or joint.
Prepare openings and surfaces by cleaning, removing debris, and ensuring proper fit and depth for firestop materials.
Apply firestop sealants, caulks, putties, mortars, sprays, intumescent wraps, collars, pillows, composite sheets, and mineral wool backing in accordance with manufacturer specifications and listed assemblies.
Label and document completed firestop assemblies with system identification, installer details, and date in accordance with project specifications and code requirements.
Inspect and repair existing firestop assemblies that have been damaged, breached, or modified by other trades.

Electrical Firestopping

Install firestop systems around electrical penetrations including conduits, EMT, rigid metal conduit, MC cable, BX cable, low-voltage cabling, fibre optic, and data/communications cabling.
Firestop cable tray and bus duct penetrations through fire-rated walls and floors using listed sealants, putty pads, intumescent pillows, or composite sheet systems.
Install putty pads on electrical outlet boxes, junction boxes, and back-boxes in fire-rated wall assemblies in accordance with listed assemblies.
Coordinate with electrical contractors to firestop pre-installed and re-entered cabling without compromising the integrity of energized systems.

Architectural Firestopping

Install head-of-wall (HOW) and bottom-of-wall (BOW) firestop joint systems at the intersection of fire-rated partitions with floor slabs, structural decks, and roof assemblies.
Firestop linear joints, control joints, expansion joints, and seismic joints in fire-rated walls, floors, and floor-to-floor assemblies using approved spray, sealant, or pre-formed joint systems.
Firestop construction joints, gypsum board joints, and openings around architectural elements such as door frames, window frames, and shaft walls in fire-rated assemblies.
Install smoke seals and acoustic-rated firestop systems where required by drawings or specifications.

Mechanical Firestopping

Firestop penetrations around metallic and non-metallic piping, including combustible plastic pipe (PVC, ABS, CPVC, PEX) using intumescent collars, wraps, or cast-in devices.
Firestop HVAC duct penetrations, grease ducts, and combination fire/smoke damper installations in accordance with listed assemblies.
Firestop sprinkler pipe and other fire protection system penetrations in coordination with the sprinkler contractor.

Site, Safety & Coordination

Operate hand tools, power tools, caulking guns, mixing equipment, and material handling tools safely and efficiently.
Work from scaffolding, swing stages, ladders, and elevated work platforms in accordance with WorkSafeBC requirements.
Conduct daily jobsite hazard assessments and follow all WorkSafeBC, OH&S, and company health and safety policies, including the proper use of PPE and respiratory protection.
Coordinate with site supervisors, general contractors, building inspectors, and other trades to schedule firestop work around mechanical, electrical, and structural installations.
Maintain accurate daily reports, material usage logs, photographs, and quality control records of installed firestop assemblies as required.
Perform housekeeping duties on the jobsite to maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.

Required Qualifications

3 years of hands-on experience as a firestop installer or in a closely related construction trade involving the installation of firestop systems.
Demonstrated ability to read and interpret construction blueprints, shop drawings, and manufacturer firestop listings (ULC/UL/cUL/Intertek).
Working knowledge of fire-resistance ratings, building code requirements, and passive fire protection principles for mechanical, electrical, and architectural penetrations and joints.
Ability to perform physically demanding work, including lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing ladders and scaffolding, and working in confined spaces, at heights, and in varying weather conditions.
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing code-compliant, high-quality work.
Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently as well as part of a team.
Effective verbal and written communication skills in English.

Preferred Qualifications

WHMIS 2015 certification.
Fall Protection certification.
Aerial Work Platform / Scissor Lift / Boom Lift certification.

Working Conditions

Work is performed primarily on active commercial, institutional, and residential construction sites in the Lower Mainland and/or the Interior.
Exposure to dust, fumes, noise, varying temperatures, heights, and confined spaces is typical.
Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) including hard hat, safety boots, safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and respiratory protection is mandatory.

Compensation and Benefits

Hourly wage of $38.25 per hour.
Overtime paid at 1.5x the regular hourly rate in accordance with the BC Employment Standards Act.
Statutory holiday pay and vacation pay paid as a percentage on each cheque as per collective agreement.
Extended health and dental benefits as per collective agreement
Some tools, PPE, and uniforms provided by the employer where required.
