This is a strategic leadership role, overseeing a team of 15–20 engineers across installation, service, and maintenance. As part of the senior management team, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of the business.

  • Uphold quality standards across all engineering functions

Fleet Management

  • Maintain legal and mechanical compliance across the vehicle fleet
  • Manage vehicle logistics including purchasing and sales
  • Oversee use of tracking systems

Support on Acquisitions

  • Conduct skills assessments of newly acquired engineering teams

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in Fire and Intruder Alarm systems
  • Background in engineering management (not a hands-on role)
  • Strong leadership skills and a passion for developing teams

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a key leadership role in a high-growth business.
