Key Notes
A relevant engineering degree, postgraduate fire-engineering qualification and experience in similar work are sought for this technical leadership role. You’ll manage fire-engineering commissions from proposals through delivery, combining modelling, risk assessments and design verification with client advice. The permanent hybrid position is available across seven UK offices and includes construction-stage visits.
What You'll Work On
- Lead fire-engineering commissions from fee proposals through delivery, managing client relationships and the technical work required for each project.
- Prepare fire analysis, modelling, risk assessments and reports, and review design solutions against relevant legislation and fire engineering standards.
- Advise during construction visits and direct technical contributors, coordinating design verification and developing further technical and commercial work opportunities.
Why This Role Matters
- Fire-engineering clients need reasoned strategies and verified designs, with modelling, risk assessment and technical review providing evidence for decisions about the proposed fire-safety approach.
- Construction-stage questions can affect the application of fire designs, with site advice connecting the engineering assumptions and selected methods to issues encountered during delivery.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualification: Applicants need bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical, structural, civil or a similar engineering field.
- Qualification: Applicants need postgraduate qualification in fire engineering.
- Experience: Applicants need broad experience in a comparable role and strong knowledge of design and construction standards.
- Stakeholder: Applicants need professional-body involvement and tactful communication with clients and technical stakeholders.
