Alarm Communications Limited are a leading team of fire protection, commercial security and building management systems specialists, with our Head Office located in Surrey. Our client base is predominantly built of prestigious buildings and landmarks, such as high-end hotels, stadia and education establishments in and around Greater London.

You will have a primary focus of taking an on-site lead in the delivery of fire and security projects, including the installation and commissioning of fire alarm and security-related systems.

The engineer will be given time, support, and resources to install these systems to the highest possible standards, with extensive training provided to achieve expert status with our primary systems. Reporting to the Contract Manager for that area, the Engineer will liaise regularly with their Senior Engineer, Service Coordinator, and Service Manager.
