Your Role

Working from fire-door inspection reports, you will be responsible for carrying out remedial repairs and installing replacement fire doors and complete door sets where required. You will undertake pre-installation surveys, identify the components and materials needed, complete the specified works and accurately document the outcome of each job.

You will manage each job from appointment booking through to completion. This will include contacting leaseholders, residents and letting agents, arranging access, completing the required work and providing clear job completion reports.

The role will be based in Manchester, working across our managed residential buildings. As our portfolio covers both Manchester and Liverpool, you will also be required to work in Liverpool for periods of the year when needed. You will be expected to plan your workload effectively, keep the management team informed of progress and ensure that work areas are left clean, secure and tidy.

Role requirements

• Review fire-door inspection reports and complete the specified repairs or replacements.


• Contact leaseholders, residents and letting agents to arrange appointments and access, maintaining accurate records of bookings and access attempts.


• Carry out pre-installation surveys and measurements, identifying the doors, components and materials required against the approved specification.


• Remove existing doors and install replacement fire-door leaves or complete door sets, including frames, compatible ironmongery, closers, seals and associated perimeter fire stopping, as specified.


• Complete remedial works to existing fire doors, including adjustments to alignment, gaps, hinges and closers, and the replacement of suitable components.


• Carry out installations and repairs in accordance with approved specifications, manufacturer instructions and applicable requirements.


• Identify and elevate discrepancies, unsuitable existing frames or openings, and any work requiring further technical advice or authorisation.


• Complete and document final installation and operational checks.


• Provide leaseholders and the management team with a job completion report, including before-and-after photographs, details of the work undertaken, product information and any outstanding issues.


• Maintain accurate installation and repair records, including relevant product documentation and traceability information.


• Plan your workload across multiple buildings and keep the management team informed of progress.


• Work safely and respectfully in occupied homes, protecting finishes, removing waste and leaving work areas clean, secure and tidy.

About you

The successful candidate will have proven experience installing replacement fire doors and complete door sets, as well as carrying out fire-door repairs and remedial works. You will have relevant fire-door installation and maintenance training, supported by evidence of practical competence.

You will hold an NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Carpentry and Joinery or be able to demonstrate equivalent trade competence. You will have a sound understanding of fire-door construction, installation tolerances, compatible components, frame fixing and perimeter fire stopping.

You must be able to interpret inspection reports, specifications and manufacturer instructions, undertake accurate site measurements and identify the materials required for each job. You will also need to recognise when specialist advice or further approval is required before work can proceed.

Strong communication, customer-service and organisational skills are essential, as you will regularly arrange appointments and explain completed work to residents. You must be comfortable working independently and using digital systems to record work, upload photographs and prepare completion reports.

Experience working within a third-party certified fire-door installation and maintenance company, such as one operating under FIRAS or BM TRADA Q-Mark, would be advantageous. Experience working in occupied flats, high-rise residential buildings and using digital maintenance or inspection-reporting systems would also be beneficial.

A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel between our buildings are essential.
