Fire & Security Auditor
Location: London (Travel Required)
Salary: £30,000 £50,000 DOE + Company Vehicle + Excellent Benefits
Im currently recruiting for a Fire & Security Auditor to join a well-established certification and compliance organisation operating across the UK security and fire safety sectors.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong technical background in fire and security systems or compliance / auditing experience who is looking to step into a role that combines technical expertise, industry influence and professional development.
The position offers a broad and varied workload, working with a portfolio of approved companies across the fire, security and life safety sectors to ensure compliance with industry standards.
The Role
As a Fire & Security Auditor, youll manage and carry out a programme of audits, surveillance visits and assessments for approved companies across the industry.
Youll be responsible for evaluating systems, procedures and compliance standards while providing constructive feedback that helps businesses improve their operations.
This role involves working closely with security providers, installers and fire safety companies, ensuring they meet the relevant industry standards, certification schemes and regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities include:
* Conducting initial, routine and re-certification audits for approved companies
* Managing an allocated portfolio of organisations and planning audit schedules
* Preparing detailed visit plans, audit reports and compliance recommendations
* Reviewing corrective actions proposed by companies following audit findings
* Undertaking technical inspections, investigations and complaint reviews where required
* Supporting initial assessments for new companies applying for approval
* Maintaining accurate documentation and meeting reporting deadlines
* Working closely with internal teams and industry stakeholders
The role also offers the opportunity to contribute to industry improvement and best practice by identifying areas where companies can strengthen their compliance and operational standards.
What Theyre Looking For
This role would suit someone with a technical fire and security background, compliance experience or an engineer looking to move into a more consultative and auditing-focused position.
Ideal experience includes:
* Background within the electronic security or fire industry
* Knowledge of CCTV, Access Control, Intruder Alarms or Fire Detection systems
* Understanding of industry standards, compliance frameworks or auditing processes
* Experience producing technical reports or compliance documentation
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills
* Ability to work independently and manage your own schedule

* Company vehicle
* Extensive industry exposure and career development
* Training and professional development opportunities
* Long-term career stability within a respected organisation
This role also involves travel across the UK, including occasional overnight stays when required.
Why This Role Is Different
This is not a typical engineering role. Instead, it offers the chance to move into a specialist industry position where youll work with multiple companies, influence best practice, and develop expertise in compliance, auditing and industry standards.
For experienced engineers looking to step away from tools, or compliance professionals wanting to specialise in fire and security, its a unique and highly respected career path.
