Job description

HOF Fire & Security is one of Northern NSW's leading providers of fire protection and electronic security services. Due to continued growth, we are seeking a motivated Fire Technician to join our team servicing residential, commercial and industrial clients throughout Northern NSW.

This is a diverse role combining routine inspection and testing, fault finding, smoke alarm compliance, RCD testing, installation and project works across a wide range of fire protection systems. If you're looking for a role that offers variety, technical challenges and long-term career opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

You will be responsible for the inspection, testing, maintenance, fault finding, installation and commissioning of fire protection systems in accordance with Australian Standards and company procedures.

The role includes both routine compliance servicing and installation project work, providing excellent variety and opportunities to further develop your technical skills.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Inspection and testing of Fire Indicator Panels (FIPs)
• Inspection, testing and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems
• Testing of Occupant Warning Systems (OWS) and Emergency Warning & Intercommunication Systems (EWIS)

• Cable installation, device replacement and system upgrades
• Identification and reporting of defects in accordance with AS 1851-2012
• Completion of electronic service reports and compliance documentation
• Providing professional service and technical advice to clients

No two days are the same—one day you may be completing routine compliance inspections, while the next you could be installing a new fire detection system, upgrading an existing building or commissioning a newly completed project.

Essential

• Minimum 2 years' experience within the fire protection industry
• Experience inspecting and testing fire protection systems

• Experience completing installation or project works
• Electrical Licence (advantageous but not essential)
• Security industry experience

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on skills and experience
• Fully maintained company vehicle
• Mobile phone and tablet
• Structured workloads with realistic scheduling
