The Role
* Installation, servicing, maintenance and commissioning of fire alarm systems
* Working across a range of sites including commercial and industrial environments
* Fault finding and diagnostics on open protocol systems
* Completing accurate service reports and documentation

This is an ideal role for an engineer who prefers working in a smaller, more personal environment where your work is recognised, your input matters, and you're not lost in a large corporate structure.
If you're looking for a stable role with a strong pipeline of work and a business that looks after its engineers, apply now or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
