We are recruiting on behalf of an established UK fire protection specialist seeking an experienced Mechanical Installer/Pipe Fitter to join its gas suppression division. This is a specialist position for someone with proven experience installing gaseous fire suppression pipework - not a general plumbing or mechanical-services role. You will work on commercial, industrial and critical-environment projects throughout the UK.
The Role
You will install and modify high- and low-pressure pipework for gaseous fire suppression systems, including:
- HFC-227ea
- FK-5-1-12
- Inergen
- Argonite
- CO2 systems
Your responsibilities will include:
- Installing threaded pipework and high-pressure fittings to exact tolerances
- Setting out pipework routes from approved drawings and manufacturer specifications
- Cutting, threading and assembling pipework to a high standard
- Installing cylinders, manifolds, valves, discharge nozzles, brackets and supports
- Ensuring pipe sizes, routes and nozzle positions comply with system designs
- Assisting with pressure testing, integrity testing and commissioning
- Identifying design clashes, defects and non-conformances
- Completing installation records, test documentation and site reports
- Working closely with project managers, supervisors and commissioning engineers
- Following RAMS, permit-to-work procedures and site health and safety requirements
- Working in accordance with relevant British Standards, manufacturer guidance and applicable LPCB or FM requirements
About You
To be considered, you must have:
- Previous experience installing gaseous fire suppression pipework
- Strong threaded-pipe installation skills
- Experience working with high-pressure pipe systems
- The ability to interpret mechanical drawings, isometrics and installation manuals
- A high standard of workmanship and attention to detail
- The ability to work independently on live sites
- A valid CSCS Skilled Worker card
- A full UK driving licence
- A willingness to travel and stay away when projects require it
Manufacturer-specific suppression-system training is highly desirable. IPAF, PASMA, manual-handling and asbestos-awareness certificates would also be beneficial.
