A well-established, independently operated fire engineering consultancy working across residential, social housing, and commercial sectors has just landed a significant tranche of new instructions. They need experienced EWS engineers to absorb that pipeline, engineers who can work autonomously, sign off independently, and engage directly with clients and design teams.
This role is different in three concrete ways:
- The work is confirmed. You are not walking into a business development role dressed as an engineering role.
- The building pipeline is already under instruction.
- Flexibility from the beginning. One day per week in a UK office is the expectation, and even that is negotiable.
Engineers on this team work remotely as a default, travel to site when genuinely necessary, and some work from abroad for extended periods when family or personal circumstances call for it. No timesheets. No performative presence. The work matters in a way that is hard to overstate. Every building assessed is a block of flats where real people need to know whether their home is safe.
