Project Manager Fire & Life Safety Systems
South East
£45,000 to £50,000 + car or £350 per month car allowance
A well established Fire and life safety specialist is looking to hire an experienced Project Manager to oversee the delivery of small to medium fire systems projects across the South East. This role suits someone who enjoys owning projects end to end, working closely with engineers, subcontractors, and clients, and taking pride in delivering work properly.
This is not a mega project environment. Projects are realistic in size, manageable, and varied, giving you real visibility and control rather than being lost in a large corporate structure.
The role
You will be responsible for managing fire systems projects from survey and quotation through to delivery, handover, and invoicing. This includes coordinating engineers and subcontractors, managing timelines and budgets, and acting as the main point of contact for clients.
Key responsibilities include
Managing multiple fire systems projects simultaneously
Surveying sites and assessing technical requirements
Producing compliant technical quotations and ensuring margins are achieved
Coordinating engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams
Managing project risk, progress reporting, and documentation
Raising purchase orders and managing parts logistics
Invoicing and following up with clients
Ensuring compliance with BS 5839 and industry standards
Upholding health and safety standards on all projects
What we are looking for
Experience managing fire alarm or fire systems projects
Strong knowledge of BS 5839
Background in installation, commissioning, or project delivery within the fire industry
Comfortable managing engineers and subcontractors
Good commercial awareness and customer facing skills
Strong organisation and communication skills
Competent with ERP systems and MS Office
Full UK driving licence
FIA qualifications and formal project management qualifications such as PRINCE2, APM, or PMP are desirable but not essential.
What's on offer
£45,000 to £50,000 salary depending on experience
Company car or £350 per month car allowance
Office and field based role in the South East
20 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service
Enhanced sick pay over time
Pension scheme
Life assurance at 2x salary
Health cashback plan
24/7 GP access and wellbeing support
Cycle to work and tech schemes
Retail discounts and family friendly benefits
This is a strong opportunity for a Fire Project Manager or Fire Systems Account Manager who wants stability, responsibility, and the chance to make a real impact without the pressure of oversized projects.
