On Offer:
  • Salary: £60,000–£80,000 depending on experience
  • Flexible working structure
  • 28 days annual leave plus Christmas shutdown
  • Option for additional unpaid leave if needed
  • Remote-first working model with close collaboration via Teams
  • Genuine autonomy and responsibility on projects
  • Opportunity to shape processes and influence company direction as part of a small, growing team

Candidate Requirements:
  • Degree in Fire Engineering or a closely related discipline
  • Chartered or working towards Chartered Engineer status (preferred but not essential)
  • Proven experience in a commercial fire engineering consultancy environment
  • Strong understanding of fire strategy development, codes, and standards
  • Ability to lead projects and communicate effectively with clients and stakeholders
  • UK-based (client is unable to offer sponsorship)
