I am currently supporting one of my long-standing clients, a reputable, NSI-accredited Fire & Security company, as they continue their expansion across Manchester and the surrounding areas. They are looking to hire an experienced Fire & Security Service Engineer to join their growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled engineer who enjoys autonomy, variety, and exposure to high-quality systems across a wide range of sites.

• Service, maintain and fault-find on fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control systems
• Carry out both planned and reactive maintenance across commercial and industrial sites
• Complete system testing, inspections, and minor commissioning
• Build strong relationships with clients through professional communication and quality work
• Participate in an on‑call rota (enhanced allowance provided)

What My Client Is Looking For

Minimum 2 years' experience servicing fire and/or security systems

Strong fault‑finding skills across at least two of the following disciplines:

• Fire Alarms
• Intruder Alarms
• CCTV
• Access Control

Experience with brands such as Hikvision, Paxton, Advanced, Gent, Morley, Texecom, or Galaxy is desirable

Full UK driving licence

FIA training or relevant qualifications beneficial but not essential

Paid overtime available

On‑call allowance

Company van and fuel card

25 days holiday plus bank holidays

Pension scheme

Tools, uniform, and PPE provided

Stable, reputable engineering team with strong progression pathways

Work on a variety of commercial sites across Manchester and neighbouring regions

A company committed to quality safety, and supporting its engineers

Excellent earning potential through overtime and callout work
