Group Head of Talent Acquisition UK @ Compliance Group
At CT Fire Protection Ltd, we are currently seeking a Fire Sprinkler Designer/Surveyor to join our small but effective management team. This is an opportunity for a designer who not only wants to produce high-quality designs but also aspires to be actively involved in projects and play a hands-on role across the wider business. We need someone who wants more than just to be a designer behind a screen, they need to be a team player who is excited by a varied workload, enjoys client-facing responsibilities, and wants to be part of the management structure within the business.
We operate predominantly on small to medium-sized projects, extensions, and installations for existing customers (not large-scale new builds), meaning you will have meaningful interaction with clients, suppliers, and engineers from start to finish. This is an active role, combining office work, working from home, and regular site visits.
What we offer:
We offer an excellent salary of between £60,000 and £70,000 depending on experience plus a car allowance. In addition, you’ll benefit from 25 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays, an extra day off for your birthday, and the ability to purchase additional holiday time.
You will also have the opportunity to become an integral part of our leadership team, working alongside the Business MD and Contracts Manager, influencing how projects are delivered and helping shape the future of the business.
Key areas of responsibility:
* Design, price, and deliver fully compliant fire sprinkler systems to BS 9251, BS EN 12845, and LPC standards, supporting projects from first enquiry through to sign-off, including updating drawings, managing approvals, and contributing to tenders, value engineering, and client solutions
* Attend client meetings and perform comprehensive site surveys to assess building layouts, existing infrastructure, and potential challenges, capturing accurate on-site measurements and environmental data to inform practical and buildable design packages
* Liaise closely with clients, engineers, suppliers, and internal teams to confirm design feasibility, resolve installation issues, verify access requirements, and ensure smooth delivery from concept through to completion
* Manage materials specifications, support procurement and specialist suppliers, and proactively identify and resolve compliance or coordination issues during planning and installation, contributing to successful project outcomes
Experience required for the role:
* Strong background designing fire sprinkler systems using various software packages to achieve this, with in-depth knowledge of fire protection standards
* Minimum Intermediate LPCB qualification (or equivalent) in fire sprinkler system design, demonstrating knowledge of industry standards and best practices
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, confidently interacting with clients, architects, engineers, suppliers, and third-party approval bodies
* Practical, hands-on approach to real-world problem solving, including adapting designs to overcome site challenges, design feedback, and unexpected project variations
* Genuine ambition to play a key role in a small management team, combining design responsibilities with wider business involvement and active project support
