35 Hour Week - Employee-Owned Company
I’m currently recruiting for a Fire Alarm Engineer to join a highly regarded, employee-owned fire protection company covering Reading and the surrounding areas (within roughly 1 hour 30 minutes travel). This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company known for its excellent engineer retention, supportive culture and long-term stability. It’s the type of business where engineers stay for years, not months. If you’re looking for a role where you’re trusted, valued and properly rewarded, this is definitely one to consider.
The Role
- You’ll be responsible for the service, maintenance and fault finding of fire alarm systems across a range of commercial and managed sites within your local patch.
- Key responsibilities include:
- Servicing and maintaining fire alarm systems
- Fault finding and reactive repairs
- Carrying out routine testing and inspections
- Ensuring systems remain compliant with industry standards
- Providing a professional and reliable service to clients on site
Experience with Gent or Notifier systems would be highly beneficial.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Employee-owned business – after 12 months you gain shares in the company
- High engineer retention – people rarely leave once they join
- 35‑hour working week providing a great work‑life balance
- Door‑to‑door travel paid
- Overtime available to increase earnings
- Local coverage around Reading and surrounding areas
It’s a company that genuinely looks after its engineers and builds long-term careers.
What They’re Looking For
- Experience working with fire alarm systems
- Ideally knowledge of Gent or Notifier systems
- Strong servicing and fault‑finding ability
- Professional and customer‑focused approach
- Full UK driving licence
Salary & Package
- £38,000 – £45,000 basic salary depending on experience
- Door-to-door travel paid
- Overtime available
- 35-hour working week
- Employee ownership scheme (shares after 1 year)
- Long-term career stability
Interested? If you’re a Fire Alarm Engineer based in or around Reading and you’re looking for a role offering stability, great benefits and a company that genuinely values its engineers, I’d be happy to speak with you.
