Are you a hands‑on engineer with a technical mindset, looking to break into the fire safety and alarm systems sector? Do you currently work in fire extinguisher servicing, or have experience in a related technical trade like CCTV, white goods, or electrical installations?

This is a brilliant entry point into a specialist fire protection business that’s growing across the UK – and actively expanding in North London and Middlesex. You’ll cover both extinguishers and alarm systems from servicing and installation, with fantastic long‑term development.

What You\'ll Do:

• Service, install, and troubleshoot portable fire extinguishers at customer construction sites.
• Learn and develop skills in fire alarm systems – starting with their bespoke SiteProtect and SiteNet alarms.
• Conduct fire safety surveys and equipment fault‑finding.
• Travel from site to site – door‑to‑door travel paid.
• Complete accurate paperwork via digital systems.
• Work independently and as part of a wider field‑based team.
• Once trained, you’ll join a rotating on‑call roster (1 week every 6 months).

• Experience in fire extinguisher or alarm servicing

• A full UK driving licence.
• BAFE certification (required).
• Good communication, time management, and a customer‑first approach.
• Technical aptitude – switched on and eager to learn.
• Flexibility to travel daily and occasionally stay away.
• Fire alarm experience, IPAF/PASMA, CSCS/ECS

What You\'ll Get:

• £35,000 - £40,000 basic salary
• Quarterly bonus scheme
• Door‑to‑door travel paid
• Company van, fuel card, uniform, and tools
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Overtime at enhanced rates (1.25x weekdays, 1.5x Saturdays, 2x Sundays)
• Pension + company events + development courses
• Full week induction in Hereford (travel and accommodation covered)
• Assigned a buddy engineer for the first 4–6 weeks
• 6‑month probation with excellent support
• Paid monthly – first 100 hours advanced in your first pay to avoid any unpaid period

Where You\'ll Be:

Field‑based across Scotland. Most jobs are on active construction sites, not finished buildings.

If you\'re technically capable, willing to learn, and ready to develop a career in a growing and innovative fire safety company, we\'d love to hear from you. You\'ll be joining a supportive and well‑structured service team led by experienced managers, with plenty of opportunity to grow.
