Our client is looking for a multi-skilled Fire & Security Engineer to join their field service team, ideally based around Basingstoke, Reading or Swindon.

Liaise with customers on site, explaining faults, repairs and recommended works clearly.
Complete service reports, job documentation and relevant risk assessments accurately.
Work in accordance with appropriate industry standards and Health & Safety requirements.
Participate in the out-of-hours call-out rota, approximately 1 week in every 12.
