The Denver District Office of Cosco Fire Protection is seeking a disciplined and relationship-driven Fire Alarm Sales & Project Manager to support the continued growth of our A&D (Alarm & Detection) Division.
This role is focused on developing and managing enterprise-level and portfolio-based customer relationships within the Denver market. We are looking for a professional who understands how to build long-term partnerships with property managers, ownership groups, repeat developers, and strategic accounts - not just pursue one-off projects.
As our A&D division expands, this individual must be receptive to growth across multiple low-voltage verticals and willing to support opportunities beyond traditional fire alarm when appropriate.
The right candidate will operate with high accountability, strong technical understanding, and a commitment to structured growth. This position plays a key role in building predictable backlog, protecting margin, and aligning sales with operational execution.
Job Responsibilities Enterprise & Portfolio Development - Identify, pursue, and develop long-term relationships with property management groups, ownership portfolios, repeat developers, and strategic accounts.

- Position Cosco as a single-source life safety and low-voltage partner for enterprise-level clients.
- Participate in industry and customer networking to strengthen strategic relationships.
- Focus on repeatable, scalable business rather than isolated transactions.
Sales & Estimating Responsibilities - Develop accurate estimates, proposals, and system layouts for fire alarm projects.
- Review drawings and specifications to ensure scope clarity and risk mitigation.
- Collaborate with Design and Operations during bid preparation to ensure alignment.
- Maintain disciplined pricing strategies that protect gross margin objectives.
- Support opportunities in additional low-voltage verticals including access control, DAS/BDA, structured cabling, and related life safety systems.
Project Management & Execution Alignment - Maintain ownership of projects sold through turnover and execution phases.
- Participate in project kickoff meetings and support structured handoff to operations.
- Monitor project progress, customer communication, and scope integrity.
- Identify change order opportunities while protecting contractual boundaries.
- Ensure required documentation for billing and closeout is submitted accurately and timely.
Financial & Performance Accountability - Maintain accurate pipeline forecasting and strategic account tracking.
- Align personal sales goals with district revenue and margin targets.
- Focus on profitability, backlog health, and execution quality.
- Operate within established divisional processes and reporting structure.
Qualifications - 5+ years of fire alarm sales experience required.
- Experience developing and managing enterprise or portfolio-based customer relationships strongly preferred.
- Additional experience in low-voltage systems such as access control, structured cabling, DAS/BDA, or related technologies is welcome and considered a plus.
- Strong understanding of fire alarm systems and applicable NFPA codes.
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
- Demonstrated ability to build long-term customer relationships that generate repeat business.
- Proven negotiation skills with a focus on profitable outcomes.
- Strong organizational discipline and follow-through.
- Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate effectively with design, operations, and field personnel.
- NICET certification a plus but not required.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Bluebeam preferred.
- Valid driver's license and good driving record.
