Field Sales Engineer– Fire & Security Systems

If you’re a relationship-led sales professional who’s ready to step out of the corporate grind and into a role where your results actually matter, this could be just what you’re looking for.

You won’t find rigid KPIs, pointless red tape, or micro-managers breathing down your neck here.

What you will find is autonomy, support, and the chance to take ownership of your patch and your pipeline – and be properly rewarded for it.

Why this role?

You’ll be joining a well-established, independent fire and security firm that’s earned a strong reputation by putting people before profit – whether that’s clients or employees. Some of their customer relationships go back 20+ years, and they’re not slowing down. Now, they’re looking for someone like you to help them grow further.

This isn’t a churn-and-burn sales job. It’s about consultative selling, understanding what your clients need, and creating tailored fire and security solutions that really work.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building and growing long-term service and system contracts with commercial clients.
• Advising on upgrades and system improvements – CCTV, fire alarms, intruder systems, access control and more.
• Spotting new business opportunities, visiting client sites, and creating tailored proposals.
• Working closely with engineers and account managers to ensure solutions are delivered smoothly.
• Managing your own diary – whether you’re on the road, working from home, or dropping into the office.

What you’ll need:

• Experience in field sales – ideally within fire & security or technical B2B environments.
• A consultative, solutions-led approach – you’ll enjoy getting under the skin of a client’s setup and finding the right fit.
• Commercial awareness and the confidence to develop your own patch.
• A full UK driving licence.

What’s in it for you:

• £33,000 – £58,000 basic depending on experience, plus uncapped monthly commission.
• Guaranteed £500/month commission for your first six months.
• Company car, mobile, laptop
• 34 days holiday including bank holidays.
• Real input and visibility in a smaller business where your success is noticed and rewarded.

If you’re ready to get back to what you enjoy, building lasting client relationships, solving real-world challenges, and being recognised for your success – we’d love to hear from you.
