About the Role

Mercor is building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each starts from real drawings, documents and site photos and asks for the structured deliverable you would produce at work. You write the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships. This listing is for a fire and life safety reviewer.

What You'll Do

  • Create tasks from real review work: egress and life safety plan check, fire access plans, fire alarm review (designer and fire marshal views), and sprinkler review (engineer, fire marshal and insurer views)
  • Also cover hazardous materials control areas, fire occupancy video inspection, firestop penetration photo verification and ITM report review
  • Write the correct answer and have a peer reviewer check it

Requirements

  • Currently or recently hold a seat that reviews fire and life safety design: fire marshal, fire prevention plan reviewer, fire protection engineer or sprinkler/alarm designer-reviewer
  • Fire marshal appointment, NICET Level III or higher, or PE in fire protection
  • 3+ years in the seat (8+ preferred), US-based, working to IBC, IFC and NFPA standards
  • Able to mark up plan sets and read hydraulic calculations and device layouts
  • Not a fit: firefighters without plan review or inspection duties, sprinkler installers without design work, alarm technicians, and general safety or OSHA specialists

Compensation & Logistics

Paid hourly at $45-$60/hr depending on experience, with a path to a higher rate as the project scales. About 40 hours per week. Remote, US-based only (eligible location: USA).
