Senior to Associate Fire Engineer

An established consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior to Associate level Fire Engineer to join its London-based Fire Engineering team.

The business has an established presence across fire safety and building compliance, with over 15 years experience in the sector. It is affiliated with the IFE and IFSM, is BAFE 205 accredited, and has recently strengthened its senior leadership across Fire Engineering and FRAEW. Due to a strong pipeline of secured projects and rapid growth across the business, the Fire Engineering team is expanding and looking to appoint an experienced Fire Engineer at Senior, Principal or Associate level.

You will work across a varied portfolio of projects, delivering fire strategies, fire engineering design, qualitative design reviews and building safety case reports. The role also provides the opportunity to become involved in cladding and compartmentation remediation, fire risk assessments and external wall fire risk appraisals, should you wish.

The team is currently small enough that every engineer has a visible impact on projects and business growth, while being large enough to provide support, mentoring and technical collaboration as part of a fun, driven and growing team.

• Deliver fire strategies and retrospective fire strategies across a range of buildings and sectors.




• Deliver fire engineering design for cladding and compartmentation remediation projects.




• Undertake qualitative design reviews as part of wider project design teams.




• Provide specialist technical advice to clients, colleagues and project teams.




• Attend sites with contractors to undertake intrusive investigations.




• Contribute to the delivery and development of fire engineering projects across the wider business.
