Role Overview
Our Consultancy division is growing rapidly across London, with a strong pipeline of FRAEW workstreams and major social housing projects that require senior fire engineering expertise.
We are looking for a Senior Fire Engineer to join the team and take ownership of complex fire engineering assessments, delivering high‑quality outputs that directly shape the safety of buildings and the residents within them.
This is a senior, client‑facing role where technical excellence and professional credibility go hand in hand.
If you are an experienced fire engineer who wants to work on meaningful, high‑profile projects with a business that is genuinely committed to doing things properly — this is the role for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and deliver Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEW) in accordance with PAS 9980, producing detailed, accurate, and defensible reports.
- Undertake fire engineering assessments across a range of building types and tenures, applying sound professional judgement and keeping abreast of current guidance and legislation.
- Produce clear, well‑structured fire engineering reports and recommendations for clients, ensuring outputs are technically robust and client‑ready.
- Act as the senior technical point of contact for clients on live projects, managing relationships professionally and proactively.
- Support the growth of the London consultancy team — contributing to business development, mentoring junior engineers, and helping to build a high‑performing team.
- Work collaboratively with the wider consultancy, pre‑construction, and delivery teams to ensure seamless project execution.
- Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of relevant standards, legislation, and best practice — including the Building Safety Act, PAS 9980, and associated guidance.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of Harmony’s consultancy offering, including processes, templates, and quality standards.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
- An A‑player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
- Proven experience delivering FRAEW assessments in line with PAS 9980.
- Degree‑level qualification in fire engineering, building surveying, or a related discipline.
- Membership of a relevant professional body (IFE, RICS, CIOB or equivalent).
- Strong technical report writing skills — able to produce clear, defensible outputs under pressure.
- Confident client‑facing skills — able to manage relationships and represent Harmony credibly at a senior level.
- Deep working knowledge of relevant legislation and standards including the Building Safety Act, Fire Safety Act, and associated guidance.
- Able to work independently and manage your own caseload to deadlines.
- London‑based and available full time.
- Nice to Have
- Experience working on social housing or residential high‑rise portfolios.
- EWS1 signatory or working towards it.
- Knowledge of BS 9997 and wider fire risk management frameworks.
