We're looking for a hands-on Sprinkler Design/Project Engineer to join our Repairs Division, ideally someone with experience in small works such as shop unit fit-outs, minor refurbishments, and system alterations.
This role is perfect for a Design Engineer who is confident using AutoCAD 2D and hydraulic calculation software, and who is ready to take the next step into Project Management. You'll bring 3+ years' experience in fire sprinklers, along with a solid understanding of how small-scale projects are delivered.

* Reviewing and producing technical drawings and specifications
* Coordinating with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams
* Attending site visits, client meetings, and handovers
* Ensuring compliance with relevant standards and regulations
* Preparing risk assessments, method statements, and COSHH documentation
* Supporting junior engineers and contributing to continuous improvement
What You'll Bring
* 3+ years' experience in fire protection, building services, or similar
* Familiarity with BSEN 12845, BS9251, NFPA, or FM Global standards
* Working knowledge of AutoCAD 2D and hydraulic calculation software (e.g., FHC)
