Do you want to be at the forefront of specialist fire engineering, working on some of the UK's most prestigious projects?
Are you passionate about architectural design and fire safety, and eager to develop expertise in Passive Fire Protection (PFP)?
Then Crown House Technologies, Laing O'Rourke's in-house MEP Engineering business, could be the perfect place for you. We are seeking a MEICA Specialist Engineer with an architectural background to take ownership of architectural fire systems, drive technical excellence, and develop into an in-house subject matter expert.
With us you'll become an integral member of an innovative, industry-leading team, working on some of the most technically challenging and rewarding projects in the construction industry. We are committed to your growth, offering extensive training, career development, and long-term progression opportunities.
We are leading the way in Passive Fire Protection—recognising it as a vital, evolving discipline at the intersection of architecture, structure, and MEP services. As part of our industry-leading central fire team, you'll play a key role in shaping fire safety standards across our projects.
Why Join Us?
* Work on high-profile projects that push the boundaries of fire safety in construction.
* Receive mentorship and structured career development to become a recognised expert.
* Collaborate with top professionals in fire engineering, architecture, and building services.
What will the role entail?
* Serve as the custodian of architectural fire knowledge, ensuring best practices across projects.
* Lead the interpretation and implementation of passive fire protection within fire strategies.
* Develop technical guidance and internal standards to drive consistency.
* Provide expert support to project teams on architectural fire-related challenges.
* Engage with manufacturers and industry bodies to source innovative solutions.
* Conduct technical audits and reviews to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
* Work closely with external consultants and regulatory bodies where required.
* Stay at the cutting edge of fire safety by continuously developing your expertise.
What experience are we looking for?
* Experience in architectural design, consultancy, or a related field.
* Strong understanding of building elements, facades, structure, and MEP systems.
* Knowledge of Building Regulations, PFP materials, and fire safety standards.
* Digital Engineering experience – familiarity with BIM software is a plus.
* Strong problem-solving skills and an analytical, curious mindset.
* Membership in a Professional Institution (e.g., RIBA) and Chartered status (or working towards it) is desirable.
* A commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
* Willingness to gain PFP certifications within two years of appointment.
