• Minimum Technician Membership with the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE).
• Registered with a recognised third-party accreditation scheme (e.g., IFE Register of Fire Risk Assessors).
• Practical experience carrying out fire risk assessments, ideally including medium-complexity projects.
• Organised and proactive approach to project delivery and time management.
• Passion for professional development and a desire to mentor others.

This is primarily a site-based role and therefore you must be willing to travel to sits throughout the North of England.
