This is a key appointment for an experienced Fire Engineer / Senior Fire Engineer who wants the opportunity to take ownership of fire engineering design and help develop this capability within an established fire safety company.

The successful Fire Engineer / Senior Fire Engineer will take responsibility for managing fire engineering input across the full design stage, working on a range of complex residential, industrial and other technically challenging projects. As the company does not currently have an in-house Fire Engineer, this person will have significant autonomy and will play an important role in developing and building the fire engineering function.

- Fire Risk Assessments (FRA)
- Fire Safety consultancy
- Fire Protection
- Fire Door inspections and consultancy
- Wider compliance and fire safety support
The Fire Engineer / Senior Fire Engineer will work alongside these existing services, providing technical fire engineering expertise from design through to project delivery.
The successful Fire Engineer / Senior Fire Engineer will ideally have:
- 2-3+ years' experience working as a Fire Engineer
- Experience across complex, residential and industrial projects
- Strong knowledge of UK fire safety and Building Regulations
- Experience producing and managing fire strategies
- Confidence managing projects throughout the design stage
- Strong technical report-writing and client-facing skills
- A relevant Fire Engineering qualification
- IFE membership or progress towards professional accreditation would be advantageous
The Fire Engineer / Senior Fire Engineer will receive a salary of £60,000 - £80,000 depending on experience, fully remote working, nationwide project exposure and the opportunity to build and shape the fire engineering offering within an established fire safety consultancy.
