Fire & Security Engineer
Location: Midlands (field-based)
Type: Full-time, permanent
Salary: £40,000–£45,000 + company van, expenses card, paid travel

The Company: An established fire and security systems integrator delivering projects across the public sector, including the justice and transport estates.

The Role: This is a hands-on engineering role, you’ll install and commission new fire and security systems across the Midlands. We’re ideally looking for a multi-skilled engineer, but the work is fire-biased, roughly 70% fire and 30% security, so strong fire experience matters most. There’s no call-out and no reactive service. Much of the work is on live government sites, so around 70% of shifts are nights.

Key Responsibilities

• Install and commission addressable and conventional fire alarm systems, mainly Advanced and Morley, plus Notifier and Kentec
• Install and commission CCTV (Hikvision, Avigilon), access control (Paxton) and intruder systems (Pyronix, Galaxy, Texecom)
• Extend and add devices to other manufacturers’ systems already on site
• Carry out fault finding, testing and handover documentation to BS 5839
• Work with site contacts and security teams to plan access on live government sites
• Complete small works and variations as projects need them

Requirements

• Comfortable working nights – around 70% of the work is night shifts
• Hands-on fire alarm installation and commissioning experience; multi-skilled fire and security engineers ideal
• Experience with Advanced or Morley panels; Notifier, Kentec or conventional also useful
• Security experience on Hikvision, Avigilon, Paxton, Pyronix, Galaxy or Texecom a bonus
• Full manual UK driving licence
• Able to pass security vetting for government sites
