🔥 Employee Spotlight: James Hammond
A Memphis native and Mechanical Engineering graduate from Christian Brothers University, James has been with Ironsmith Fire since 2022, contributing to projects like St. Jude, Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, and Vanderbilt University.
His favorite project so far? Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, where complex design challenges and tight deadlines pushed him to grow as an engineer while working on one of Memphis' most iconic landmarks.
As a NICET Level II Design certified professional, James has experience designing wet, dry, pre-action, fire pumps, standpipes, ESFR, CMDA, residential, and many other specialized fire protection systems. He's also working toward earning his Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) certification later this year.
Outside the office, James enjoys cooking, golfing, and spending time with his family.
We're proud to have James on the Ironsmith Fire team. Join us in congratulating him in the comments! 👏
