Insights - OFR

As a graduate at OFR, you will work alongside experienced engineers, gain hands‑on project experience from your first day, and develop the skills needed to become a trusted and valued fire engineer.

Our people are our business and we are incredibly proud to be rated as ‘World Class To Work For’. This recognition from Best Companies is based solely on the feedback of our own staff.

Our graduate programme combines structured training with project‑based learning to give you a strong foundation in both the technical and professional skills you need to succeed as a fire engineer.

Through the OFR Technical Institute, you will develop your core fire science knowledge, covering everything from the basics of fire science terminology to complex topics such as flame spread, people movement and toxicity.

Alongside this, the OFR Graduate Springboard Programme will help you build the professional skills needed in consultancy, including in presentation, negotiation, time‑management, and confidence.

We believe that in‑person learning and peer connections are an important part of development. For this reason, many of our structured development sessions are in person, with colleagues from across all of our offices, to allow you to build relationships and share experiences.

Much of your learning will come through project delivery, supported by colleagues across the whole of our business. Exposure to a variety of project types and teams will give you the chance to learn different approaches to successful project delivery, helping you grow both technically and professionally.

You will be working towards, or have recently completed, your degree in a relevant discipline. We welcome graduates from a range of STEM backgrounds. Alongside those with fire engineering degrees, our team includes colleagues who studied civil, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering, as well as surveying and mathematics.

If you are curious, motivated, and keen to apply your skills to fire safety, there could be a place for you at OFR.

In addition, you will also be able to demonstrate skills in the following, or a motivation to develop these with our support:

• Communication – the ability to express ideas clearly, both verbally and in writing as appropriate to each task. Graduates will be supported to develop these skills further, but a good foundation is important.
• Problem-solving – fire engineering is constantly evolving, and we value people who are curious, open to feedback and keen to work collaboratively to develop new and innovative solutions.
• Commitment to self-development – we encourage all our staff to continue learning and to work towards professional registration. Graduates should show enthusiasm for…
