About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Director to join a fast-growing consultancy at an exciting point in its development. This is a senior leadership role where technical excellence and commercial acumen go hand in hand — you'll work closely with the Managing Director and play a central part in driving business growth, building the team, and delivering outstanding results for clients.
This is not a P&L ownership role, but you'll be deeply involved in commercial performance — improving project margins, driving revenue, and helping shape the strategic direction of the fire engineering function.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading and developing a team of 7 direct reports, with a clear mandate to grow headcount
* Partnering closely with the MD on business development and commercial strategy
* Owning technical sign-off, delivery and quality across fire engineering projects
* Identifying and converting new opportunities, while improving profitability on existing work
* Championing innovation across the team and wider business
* Contributing to a culture of growth in a business that is scaling rapidly
What We're Looking For
* Strong fire engineering background with demonstrable technical expertise
* Full Chartered Status
* Master's degree in Fire Engineering (preferred, but not essential)
* Commercially minded — you understand how to win work and protect margins
* Experience at a senior level, or a driven individual ready to take that next step
* Someone who knows this market well and brings a relevant network
* A natural leader who can inspire, develop and retain talent
