Staffing Issues and Challenges for Fire Sprinkler Contractors

Staffing remains one of the greatest challenges for fire sprinkler contractors, and in our upcoming June edition of Fire Protection Contractor, we’re shining a spotlight on this critical issue. But we can’t do it without you!

We’re calling on fire sprinkler contractors, industry leaders, and professionals to share their knowledge, experiences, and innovative ideas. Your input can make a real impact on the industry, helping navigate the challenges of hiring and retaining great talent.

Here’s how you can contribute:

Submit a By-Lined Article (600–800 words): Share your perspective on staffing issues in the fire sprinkler industry.

Write a Letter or Comment: A few paragraphs with your ideas, concerns, or experiences are also valuable.

Not sure what to write about? Consider these ideas:

• What are the biggest problems and concerns you face when it comes to staffing?

• Where do you go for reliable staffing solutions?

• What systems or processes have you found effective for hiring?

• When and where do you focus your search for new employees?

This is your opportunity to share advice, opinions, and examples of what’s working — or not working — for your business. Including a photo to accompany your contribution is always welcome!

Submit your insights by May 1, 2025.

For questions or to discuss potential article ideas, feel free to reach out to:

Brant R. Brumbeloe, Editor, Fire Protection Contractor magazine, info@fpcmag.com.

Together, let’s tackle one of the most pressing issues in our industry. We look forward to hearing from you!
