This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced construction and project management professional to join our specialist, values-led organisation.
You’ll gain real ownership and autonomy, with the chance to lead complex projects from concept to completion, making trusted decisions on site, and seeing your work directly protect lives, property and operations.
In return, you’ll join a company that genuinely invests in you, combining superb rewards, cutting-edge tools and ongoing professional training with the variety and challenge of working across diverse sites and projects nationwide.
So, if you’re looking for a role where you’re trusted to lead, empowered to deliver and rewarded for your impact, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
Working closely with the Head of Projects and the wider management and engineering teams, you will play a key role in co-ordinating the delivery of fire detection and suppression system projects from start to finish.
Rather than operating in isolation, you will act as the link between the office, management, and site-based teams, ensuring projects are planned, communicated, and delivered effectively. You will support the co-ordination of engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers across high-risk, mission-critical environments, helping to maintain high standards of quality, safety, and performance.
On site, you will represent Blazequel professionally, overseeing day-to-day activities, monitoring progress, and feeding clear, accurate updates back to the Head of Projects and the leadership team. You will work collaboratively to resolve issues, manage priorities, and ensure projects remain on track.
This is a “hands-on”, visible role within a close-knit team, offering strong support, clear leadership, and the opportunity to grow alongside a developing projects function.
About You
To be considered as our Project Manager, you will need:
- At least two years’ proven experience in construction and project management
- Experience delivering multi-stakeholder technical projects
- A proven track record of progressing from site-based roles into project management
- Experience with M&E, and ideally fire systems, electrical or controls-based environments
- An understanding of RAMS, technical documentation and installation workflow
- An understanding of control systems and installation processes
Other organisations may call this role Fire Systems Project Manager, Engineering Project Manager, Installation Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, or Construction Project Manager.
