This is a brilliant entry point into a specialist fire protection business that's growing across the UK - and actively expanding in North London and Middlesex. You'll start in extinguishers and be fully trained into alarm system servicing and installation, with fantastic long-term development.

* Service, install, and troubleshoot portable fire extinguishers at customer construction sites.
* Learn and develop skills in fire alarm systems - starting with their bespoke SiteProtect and SiteNet alarms.
* Conduct fire safety surveys and equipment fault-finding.
* Travel from site to site - door-to-door travel paid.
* Complete accurate paperwork via digital systems.
* Work independently and as part of a wider field-based team.
* Once trained, you'll join a rotating on-call roster (1 week every 6 months).
Requirements
* Experience in fire extinguisher servicing or a transferable background (CCTV, white goods, audio/visual, lighting, etc.).
* A full UK driving licence.
* BAFE certification (required).
* Good communication, time management, and a customer-first approach.
* Technical aptitude - switched on and eager to learn.
* Flexibility to travel daily and occasionally stay away.
* Fire alarm experience, IPAF/PASMA, CSCS/ECS or basic electrical skills? Even better!
What You'll Get:
* £32,000 - £35,000 basic salary
* Quarterly bonus scheme
* Door-to-door travel paid
* Company van, fuel card, uniform, and tools
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off

* Pension + company events + development courses
* Full week induction in Hereford (travel and accommodation covered)
* Assigned a buddy engineer for the first 4-6 weeks
* 6-month probation with excellent support
* Paid monthly - first 100 hours advanced in your first pay to avoid any unpaid period
Where You'll Be:
Field-based across North Birmingham- Derby, Stafford, Wolverhampton, Leicester. Most jobs are on active construction sites, not finished buildings.
If you're technically capable, willing to learn, and ready to develop a career in a growing and innovative fire safety company, we'd love to hear from you. You'll be joining a supportive and well-structured service team led by experienced managers, with plenty of opportunity to grow.
