Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

Join Jackson Fire & Security as we are expanding the Swindon team. This is an exciting opportunity with genuine autonomy, a £45k base salary plus commission (OTE £50k‑£60k), a profit share scheme, and a fully equipped company van.

At Jackson Fire & Security, we’ve been protecting people and property since 1991. With over 30 years’ experience, NSI Gold accreditation, and BAFE‑registered engineers, we’re proud to deliver trusted fire and security solutions across the UK.

As we expand into the South West, we’re offering experienced engineers the chance to shape our future in the region.

As our Fire & Security Systems Engineer, no two days will look the same. One day you might be servicing fire extinguishers or a fire panel, and the next, carrying out a full takeover of a new customer site. You’ll manage your own diary, booking work directly with customers and enjoying real flexibility to balance work and home life.

Work Monday to Friday, 8am‑5pm, with occasional flexibility required and on call. You’ll cover Swindon (SN postcode area), with occasional nearby travel for national accounts. You’ll take your van home daily and work independently, supported by the Branch Director, the wider Jackson network and Head Office Support Team.
