A little more about your role… As a fire engineer, you’ll typically be working on a variety of projects at once from a university in Scotland to a high-rise residential tower in London, with plenty of international projects.

There is a lot to learn, and you are likely to be guided through a variation of software packages, fire standards, team briefings and client updates from the start. We regularly get together for social events. In addition to the day-to-day role, we will assist the successful candidate toward professional registration via the IFE and other professional organisations.
