The company provides a full suite of fire safety services, including fire strategies, fire engineering consultancy, FRAEW and EWS1 assessments, and fire risk assessments.

Having started with a focus on external wall work, they have since expanded to deliver a complete fire engineering offering.

They operate as a small, agile consultancy, sitting between large corporate firms and smaller niche practices.

• Work largely remotely, with occasional site and client meetings as required
• Take ownership of project delivery to help free up the Technical Director for strategic oversight On
  
  Offer:
• Flexible working structure - 28 days annual leave plus Christmas shutdown
• Option for additional unpaid leave if needed
• Remote-first working model with close collaboration via Teams
• Genuine autonomy and responsibility on projects
• Opportunity to shape processes and influence company direction as part of a small, growing team Candidate Requirements:
• Degree in Fire Engineering or a closely related discipline
• Chartered or working towards Chartered Engineer status (preferred but not essential)
• Proven experience in a commercial fire engineering consultancy environment
• Strong understanding of fire strategy development, codes, and standards
