Small Works Manager – Fire & Security
Fire and Security installation, small works, and commissioning experience required - However management experience is not!
Location: Southampton (Office Based, 5 Days per Week)
Competitive salary + Car Allowance based on 40 hours per week
We’re recruiting for a brand new Small Works Manager role within a long standing large Fire & Security business based near Southampton. This is an exciting opportunity for a technically strong Fire & Security professional who’s ready to step into a more senior, office based role — no previous management experience required.
If you have solid experience in small works, installs, and commissioning, this role allows you to use your technical knowledge while learning the management side of the business. You’ll have real scope to make the role your own and grow with the company as it's a newly created position.
You’ll be responsible for managing Fire & Security small works projects up to £10,000 in value. Anything larger will be passed to the Projects Team, meaning you can stay focused on fast paced, varied small works.
Based in a busy Southampton office, you’ll coordinate engineers and subcontractors remotely, ensuring works are delivered efficiently, safely, and to a high standard.
What We’re Looking For:
Strong Fire & Security technical background (small works, install & commissioning experience essential)
Good industry knowledge across Fire and/or Security systems
Organised, proactive, and confident communicator
Comfortable working in a fast paced, office based environment
Keen to step into a leadership style role (without needing prior management experience) What’s On Offer
Pension scheme and other company benefits such as annual leave which increases with service
Office based role with a supportive, busy team
Brand new position with real autonomy
Clear progression and development opportunities Why Apply? This is a rare chance to move off the tools into a technical Fire and Security management role, without needing formal management experience. You’ll be trusted to build and shape the function, supported by an established projects team and a growing business.
If you have any questions please call Hannah on (phone number removed) ASAP. We expect many applications on this role
