The question you’re asking is kind of like asking what to do once you become a parent. The answer is that it depends.
You can steer from the front (design management) or the back (monitoring installations) or you can split duty between them as you see fit. You simply do your best to steer the ship in the right direction and progress is continually the goal. You monitor for weak points and address them as they come. If you don’t think that things are being done right, it is your responsibility as the responsible managing employee to correct that.

That is where I focused the majority of my time as the RME. I would only go out to projects that were high profile, like AFFF system inspections/start-ups, Fire Pump system inspections/start-ups, Preaction or Deluge inspections/start-ups. I had (2) very capable superintendents that would check in on all the jobs and report back any installation issues or concerns. Most jurisdictions where you install wet pipe or dry pipe systems have capable inspectors to catch 90% of any mishaps in the field. The most bang for your “buck/time” will be in design.

The managing employee is responsible for supervising the performance of all fire protection-related work done by the contractor, including code compliance, etc. So does it mean that the RME needs to stay at a specific job site full time, or they can be more focused on designing and only visit and inspect multiple job sites to verify design and code compliance, if each job site has a certified journeyman working full time.

I would say you would keep doing what you know, that enabled you to pass what ever examination was required for you to be the RME.

What exactly is your role in your company?
