Infinity is looking for an experienced Fire Alarm Engineers to join our growing team.

Installation experience would be a significant advantage.

• Testing systems and identifying non-compliances or defects
• Completing accurate service, commissioning and fault reports
• Liaising professionally with customers, site teams and other contractors
• Working independently and managing your workload effectively

What we’re looking for

Essential:

• Strong working knowledge of BS 5839-1
• Approximately 3–5 years' experience working with fire detection and alarm systems
• Proven experience in fire alarm commissioning
• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic ability

You’ll be able to arrive on site, understand the system, identify faults, commission work correctly, explain technical issues clearly and leave the system and documentation to a professional standard.

We’re particularly interested in engineers who take pride in understanding why something isn’t working rather than simply replacing components until the fault disappears.

• 28 days' holiday, including bank holidays
• An additional day's holiday on your birthday
