With over 30 years in the industry, they’re proud to be at the forefront of fire safety, and are looking for a dedicated Fire Water Systems Maintenance Engineer to join their growing team!

What Our Client is Looking For :
* Experience : At least 2 years of hands‑on experience with water pipes, pumps, or fire suppression systems in a commercial setting.
* Skills : You should have worked with large water pumps and fire suppression systems. If you’ve got experience with sprinklers too – great!
* Background : Ideally, you’ll come from a commercial mechanical background (installation and fixing of water pipes/pumps), but if you’ve got a bit of electrical M&E experience, that’s a bonus.
* Location : They’re looking for someone based within the Birmingham area.
* Clearance : You’ll need to pass an enhanced level 1 background check, so a clean record is essential.
* Driving : A full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points (for insurance purposes).
* Salary : £38,000 – £45,000 based on your experience, plus a profit share to add a little extra sparkle to your pay packet.
* Overtime : Paid at time and a half, approved by management – if you’re up for it.
* Holiday : 24 days a year + bank holidays. Plus, an extra day for every 5 years of service and another day at 10 years of service.
* Benefits : Life insurance (x3 your salary post‑probation), pension, salary sacrifice, and a range of employee wellbeing perks, including free counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme.
* Work‑Life Balance : 45‑hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexible start times. After six months, you’ll join the on‑call rota (one week at a time) rotating around a team of 10 engineers.
* Company Perks : Two all‑expenses‑paid company events each year – one in the summer, one in the winter.
* Tools : Van, uniform, and specialist tools provided. For the regular stuff, you’ll need to bring your own, but we’ve got your back on the key equipment.
