• Quality Control: Carry out audits, ensure strict adherence to RAMS and H&S regulations, and write comprehensive reports for internal and client review.

You’ll Need To Bring

• Proven Project Management experience within the fire protection survey or assessments space.
• Recognised qualifications such as BM Trada, FIRAS, FDIS, AISM, FRAS (or similar).
• Hands‑on knowledge – ideally someone who's progressed from on‑the‑tools roles (e.g., door remedials or fire stopping) into supervisory/project roles.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills – both written and verbal.
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office and digital reporting tools.

Why Join
