You don’t need to be an expert in fire systems to join UK Dry Risers — but you do need to be ready to learn, ready to travel, and ready to work as part of a tight-knit team.
Here at UK Dry Risers, we test, maintain and service fire safety systems in buildings all across the UK. You’ll be part of a two-person crew, heading out to different sites every week — inspecting and repairing dry riser systems in places like housing blocks, schools, hospitals, industrial premises, care homes and more.
It’s hands-on, practical work with real responsibility — and we’ll teach you everything you need to know. You’ll be supported from day one with full training and ongoing development. All you need is a basic mechanical background, good work ethic, and a willingness to jump in and learn.
What we’re looking for:
* General experience of Mechanical Engineering
* Experience using hand and power tools
* A full UK driving licence
* Willingness to travel and stay overnight (we’ll cover your expenses)
* Someone who enjoys working in a pair, not flying solo
* Able to complete job sheets and reports clearly and on time
* Positive attitude, practical brain, team mindset
What you’ll get:
* £28,000–£32,000 base salary
* Paid overtime and overnight subsistence
* A full-time, permanent position
* Full product and systems training
* A varied working week and a great team culture
* Discounts on everyday shopping, gym memberships, electrical goods, holidays, days out, fashion and much more via our Vivup membership
* Great working environment with a manager that understand the day to day challenges of the role
