Fire Service Engineer

A well-established fire and life safety business is looking to add a Fire Service Engineer to its service team covering Guildford and the surrounding areas south of the river.

This is a steady, long-term role with a sensible workload, good support, and a team that trusts engineers to manage their own day. The focus is on quality service and proper fault-finding rather than rushing between jobs.

Training and upskilling are available for the right person. As long as there is a solid base in fire systems and service work, support is there to build on it.

Up to £39,000 basic salary, plus overtime

£245 per week standby payment

1-in-4 callout rota, planned in advance and shared evenly

Clear long-term progression within the wider group

Engineers are trusted to manage their own day, supported by a team that values steady work and doing the job properly.
