Fire Engineer, Bristol - £34,000 to £40,000 DOE, Permanent | Field Based

We are recruiting for a Fire Engineer to join an established and growing Fire & Security business covering the Bristol area.

This is a hands-on service role focused on fire alarm and life-safety systems, with a strong emphasis on maintenance, reactive fault finding and repairs.

The role could suit someone who already has solid fire engineering experience or somebody earlier in their career who has strong electrical foundations, good fault-finding ability and wants to continue developing technically.

The role will include

Servicing and maintaining fire alarm systems
Reactive fault finding and breakdown response
Routine system testing
Completing like-for-like repairs
Identifying and diagnosing electrical and system faults
Carrying out minor remedial works
Emergency lighting testing and maintenance
Completing service records and documentation
Working independently across customer sites
Liaising professionally with customers
Participating in the on-call rota

We are looking for

Hands-on fire alarm or fire life-safety experience
Good electrical competence
Experience servicing and maintaining fire systems
Confident fault-finding ability
Comfortable carrying out routine reactive repairs
Good customer-facing skills
Full UK driving licence
Experience with systems such as Advanced, Kentec, Gent, Morley, C-Tec or Hochiki would be useful.
Experience with emergency lighting would also be beneficial.
Relevant FIA, FESS, ECS or electrical qualifications would be advantageous, but technical ability and practical experience are equally important.

This role could also offer the opportunity to broaden into more advanced fire work and potentially wider security systems over time.
