You’ll investigate electrical failures, fires and mechanical incidents figuring out what went wrong, why, and who’s responsible. Part detective, part engineer, part consultant.
You’ll work on site, from home and in the office, writing reports used by insurers, solicitors, and major businesses. It’s varied, challenging, and meaningful work, no two days are the same.
What you’ll be doing
* Attend incident sites, often in challenging environments
* Forensically examine electrical and mechanical systems
* Write clear, concise technical reports
* Manage your own caseload and deadlines
* Communicate directly with clients and legal teams
* Help uncover the cause, retrace the faults

* The physical and mental resilience to handle chaotic, sometimes uncomfortable environments (e.g. fire scenes).
* Clear, concise writing ability to produce reports that can be used in legal and insurance settings (Bond Solon training given)
* A natural sense of customer service someone who turns up on time, communicates well, and gets the job done to the clients expectations
* Experience in fault finding, forensic-style work, and root cause analysis.
* Any fire-related engineering experience.
* Strong commercial skills understanding time billing, client liaison, and the service nature of the role.
You’ll thrive here if you’re:
* Curious and calm under pressure
* Comfortable with mess, unpredictability, and the occasional burnt-out site
* Commercially minded you understand service and deadlines
* A clear communicator who can write as well as speak
