TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2022 / The team at FCS Fire Consulting Services Ltd is elated to announce that their application has been accepted and they are now officially members of the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies of Ontario (ACEC).

“I can tell you from firsthand experience that engineers are the heart of modern life safety systems. Their skills have never been more important, or more in demand than they are right now. It’s not the first field that most engineers think of working in, but we’re actively trying to change that,” said Tom Marchese, PMP, P.Eng.

“We hosted an event for National Engineering Month in March, and part of our focus was raising awareness about the growing need for qualified engineers in this sector. I only entered this industry a few years ago after more than 20 years in a manufacturing environment, specifically on the product development side. But I’ve never been happier.”

ACEC members benefit from:

  • Online access to standard contracts, business practice resources, and other valuable services.
  • Professional development offerings from industry leaders like PSMJ Resources and on-demand webinars that are offered in collaboration with their Maple Leaf Partners.
  • Industry insights with access to the latest industry news, issues, and trends in the public and private sectors with monthly newsletters and advisories.
  • Meaningful networking at ACEC events like the national leadership conference and the Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards.

“Life safety systems are growing more advanced and more complex, while fire code standards are evolving right along with them. This is creating an unprecedented need for engineers in our industry,” said Michele Farley, President of FCS Fire Consulting Services Ltd.

“Our Tom Marchese was one of the first engineers in Canada to officially issue an S-1001 certificate after completing one of Canada’s first assessments for ULC S-1001 – Integrated Systems Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety System. This standard didn’t exist 3 years ago, but now every new build and retrofit will likely need design and/or final sign-off by professional engineers.”
