Associate and Associate Director - Fire Engineering
At WSP, you can always find opportunities to grow and do what matters to you. Make the most of our global reach to discover new challenges and chances to work with diverse, talented individuals who will help you expand your horizons.
Responsibilities
As an Associate Fire Engineer, you’ll typically be working on a variety of projects at once – from a university in Scotland to a high‑rise residential tower in London, with plenty of international work. All with the same goal of enabling innovative architectural design without compromising the fire safety of the building.
You’ll be running through design information, liaising with other WSP disciplines such as Facades, Acoustics and Structures, presenting designs to local authorities and the Fire Service, and helping to inform the design team about what changes could be made to increase the safety of the building.
Naturally, there is a lot to learn and you are likely to be guided through a variation of software packages, fire standards, team briefings and client updates from the start. We’re a nice bunch and we regularly get together for social events.
In addition to the day‑to‑day role, we will assist the successful candidate toward his/her professional registration via IFE and other professional organisations.
