Day in the Life

Imagine starting your day at 7 AM in Concord, New Hampshire, fueling up with coffee while reviewing your route on the company tablet. Your service van, stocked with state-of-the-art testing equipment, is ready for the road. First stop: a retail store in central Concord. You arrive, greet the manager, and begin a thorough inspection of their fire alarm panels. Using specialized tools, you test horns, strobes, and pull stations, ensuring every component meets National Fire Protection Association standards.

By mid-morning, you're at a manufacturing plant outside Concord, climbing ladders to access ceiling-mounted detectors. You identify a faulty smoke head, note it in your digital report, and recommend replacement. Lunch is a quick bite in the van, perhaps overlooking the Merrimack River that winds through New Hampshire. Afternoon brings an on-call emergency—a false alarm at a local school.

Back at the Concord depot by 4 PM, you upload reports, log parts used, and prep for tomorrow. Evenings might involve studying for NICET certification, supported by Cintas' training resources.
