35 Hour Week - Employee-Owned Company

I’m currently recruiting for a Fire Alarm Engineer to join a highly regarded, employee-owned fire protection company covering Reading and the surrounding areas (within roughly 1 hour 30 minutes travel).

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company known for its excellent engineer retention, supportive culture and long-term stability. It’s the type of business where engineers stay for years, not months.

If you’re looking for a role where you’re trusted, valued and properly rewarded, this is definitely one to consider.

You’ll be responsible for the service, maintenance and fault finding of fire alarm systems across a range of commercial and managed sites within your local patch.

• Servicing and maintaining fire alarm systems
• Fault finding and reactive repairs
• Carrying out routine testing and inspections
• Ensuring systems remain compliant with industry standards
• Providing a professional and reliable service to clients on site

Experience with Gent or Notifier systems would be highly beneficial.

This role offers some excellent long-term benefits that are rarely seen in the industry:

• Employee-owned business – after 12 months you gain shares in the company
• High engineer retention – people rarely leave once they join
• 35‑hour working week providing a great work‑life balance
• Door‑to‑door travel paid
• Overtime available to increase earnings
• Local coverage around Reading and surrounding areas

It’s a company that genuinely looks after its engineers and builds long-term careers.

• Experience working with fire alarm systems
• Ideally knowledge of Gent or Notifier systems
• Strong servicing and fault‑finding ability
• Professional and customer‑focused approach
• Full UK driving licence

• £38,000 – £45,000 basic salary depending on experience
• Door-to-door travel paid
• Overtime available
• 35-hour working week
• Employee ownership scheme (shares after 1 year)
• Long-term career stability

If you’re a Fire Alarm Engineer based in or around Reading and you’re looking for a role offering stability, great benefits and a company that genuinely values its engineers, I’d be happy to speak with you.
