Fire Door Inspector

SRVO Property - FIRE DOOR INSPECTOR (London area)
Competitive (aligned to experience) + car allowance + benefits
Remote / Field-Based – London Area
Hours of work:
Days (Mon-Fri) – 37.5 hours per week
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking for a Fire Door Inspector to join SRVO's Risk & Compliance division, carrying out fire door inspections across residential buildings throughout the London area region.
This role is for someone who takes fire door inspection seriously, someone who wants to do the job properly, write clear reports, and help property teams understand what compliance actually looks like on the ground.
If you hold FDIS certification (or equivalent) and want stable work, good support, and a role where quality matters, this is a great opportunity to join a growing team with a strong reputation in the sector.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
This is a field-based role where you will manage your own schedule, attend sites at pre-arranged times, and complete fire door inspections in a consistent and competent manner.
You will be expected to produce clear written reports with findings and recommendations, and to support property managers and clients with practical advice following inspection.
You'll be trained on SRVO's in-house survey application, but you must already have the technical competence to inspect timber fire doors, frames, seals and certification evidence confidently.
The role is primarily focused on the London area, with occasional travel and overnight stays depending on client needs.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
You'll be successful in this role if:
Your inspections are thorough, consistent and professionally delivered
Your reports are clear, accurate and actionable for clients
Property managers trust your judgement and come back to you for advice
You manage your schedule well and keep inspections on track
You help improve compliance outcomes across the buildings you inspect
HOW YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME
Most weeks, you'll be:
Inspecting timber fire doors and associated furniture across residential buildings
Checking certification evidence including labels, CE marks and plugs
Assessing frames/linings/casings and confirming suitability for the door rating
Checking intumescent and smoke seals for compatibility and installation quality
Producing full written reports with findings and recommendations
Speaking with clients and RMC Directors to explain obligations and next steps
Supporting property managers with technical queries following report delivery
Reviewing associated services and reports where required to confirm compliance alignment
You'll work from home between site visits, managing your inspections across the region.
WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
This role suits someone who:
Holds third-party certification in fire door inspection through FDIS (or equivalent)
Has strong knowledge of timber fire doors and associated hardware
Is confident completing inspections independently and consistently
Produces accurate, well-written reports and takes pride in quality
Communicates clearly with clients, property managers and RMC Directors
Is organised, reliable and able to prioritise effectively
Holds a full, clean UK driving licence and is happy travelling regionally
It would be advantageous if you also have:
Previous fire door installation experience
Broader fire safety compliance exposure
EXPERIENCE THAT HELPS
Fire door inspection experience across residential or mixed-use buildings
Strong understanding of certification requirements and compliance standards
High attention to detail and accuracy
Professional communication and stakeholder confidence
Ability to work independently while being part of a wider team
A practical, solutions-led approach when dealing with client queries
WHAT WE OFFER
Competitive salary aligned to experience
Car allowance
Remote / field-based working model
25 days holiday plus bank holidays
Private medical insurance, life assurance and enhanced family leave
Fully funded training and professional development
Pension scheme and employee assistance programme
Employee referral scheme
