F. Ahern Co. as a Fire Sprinkler Design Intern. I thoroughly enjoyed the role; the unique nature of each project, fast paced environment, and the requirement for attention to detail suited me well. Over my career I have held multiple design positions, ran a design department as a Design Manager, and facilitated the companies New Designer Training course. I have had the opportunity to be exposed to many aspects of the industry including preplanning, estimating, project management, project financials, value engineering, hazard\/risk assessment, and labor coordination. This exposure allows me to factor in multiple aspects into design decisions, typically resulting in a more well-rounded system design. I have been NICET Certified since 2009, and currently hold NICET Level IV certification. I am also a licensed Designer of Engineering Systems in the state of Wisconsin since 2018.<\/span><\/span><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14fec06\" data-id=\"14fec06\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3ab514 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e3ab514\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/beaconfiredesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IRL.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1355\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beaconfiredesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IRL.jpg 500w, https:\/\/beaconfiredesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IRL-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beaconfiredesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IRL-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Isaac Lehmann<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e2585a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e2585a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-93d03301-7fff-845c-be49-184e8c589f62\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">During Christmas break in 2005 of my sophomore year at college, I decided to help my neighbor who owned his own fire sprinkler company. By the end of sophomore year, I had decided that college was no longer the route for me. I joined the apprenticeship and began working in the field. Over the next five years I was able to gain a vast amount of knowledge and skill in the fire sprinkler trade. Unfortunately, these years were during a tough economical time, I spent a lot of that time traveling and building hotels all over the Midwest. In 2011 I decided to go back to you UW-STOUT and finish my BS in Packaging. After graduating in 2015 I worked in NE Minneapolis as a Mechanical Engineer. In 2016 I began my design career at the J.F. Ahern Company. Being able to apply my field experience with my technical skills and project management made for a great fit. In 2019 I moved to General Sprinkler Corporation and became the design manager where I was able gain more experience running the design department. I have been NICET Certified since 2017 and currently hold my NICET Level III certification. <\/span><\/span><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us Our Mission To provide fire suppression design services with an emphasis on quality, accuracy, and completeness.
