This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer looking to take the next step in their career, with the chance to become a key point of contact for technical guidance and support across projects.

The Role

As a Fire Alarm Installation Engineer, you will be responsible for installing, commissioning, and supporting fire alarm systems across a range of commercial projects.

Alongside your hands-on installation responsibilities, you will act as a point of contact for guidance and technical support on projects, working closely with project managers, engineers, and customers to ensure installations are delivered to a high standard.

The majority of projects will be located throughout the Midlands, with occasional travel to the North required depending on project requirements.

• Fault-find and resolve technical issues during installation and commissioning
• Liaise with customers, project managers, and other engineers throughout projects
• Complete commissioning documentation, handover paperwork, and project reports accurately
• Support the successful delivery of projects from installation through to completion
• Travel occasionally to projects in the North, although the majority of work will be across the Midlands

Requirements

• Proven experience installing and commissioning fire alarm systems
• Strong technical knowledge of fire alarm systems and installation practices
• Experience with systems such as Advanced, Morley, Kentec, and Apollo would be advantageous
• Ability to provide technical guidance and support to other engineers
• Good understanding of relevant fire alarm standards and regulations
