The company provides a full suite of fire safety services, including fire strategies, fire engineering consultancy, FRAEW and EWS1 assessments, and fire risk assessments. Having started with a focus on external wall work, they have since expanded to deliver a complete fire engineering offering.

* Liaise directly with clients, design teams, and approving authorities to deliver compliant solutions
* Work largely remotely, with occasional site and client meetings as required
* Take ownership of project delivery to help free up the Technical Director for strategic oversight
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)
