Associate Fire Engineer

A prestigious opportunity has arisen for a talented Associate Fire Engineer to join a leading multinational, multidisciplinary consultancy - with a clear future pathway to Partnership. As a pivotal part of a rapidly expanding fire safety division, the Associate Fire Engineer will work directly with the Partner and Head of Fire Safety, acting as their number two and bridging the gap between leadership and the wider Fire Safety team.

This is a key moment for the right Associate Fire Engineer to join, as the business embarks on ambitious and exciting growth plans for its fire safety function - both nationally and internationally. With significant investment and a clear roadmap to 2030 and beyond, this fire team offers unrivalled career progression and project variety.

The Associate Fire Engineer's Role

The Associate Fire Engineer will oversee a portfolio of fire consultancy projects, managing delivery, client relationships, and team performance. This role is far more than technical delivery - it calls for a decision-maker, a mentor, and someone capable of wearing multiple hats, from project management and cost control to construction coordination.

You'll support strategic fire safety growth plans through technical leadership and pragmatic engineering solutions. The Associate Fire Engineer will provide guidance on legislation, liaise with authorities, and deliver training to clients and team members alike.
