Job description

A supportive and growing fire safety company is seeking a Fire Safety & Compliance Officer to join their friendly and skilled team in South Essex (with easy access to London, Kent, and the South East). From the top down, this firm is passionate about keeping people and buildings safe – providing fire safety services that make a real difference, from inspections and surveys to compliance support and project delivery.

With nearly three decades of industry experience, the company continues to grow and invest in their people. This is not your typical desk job. They’re looking for a Fire Safety & Compliance Officer who enjoys variety, learning new skills, and getting stuck in.

This Fire Safety & Compliance Officer role blends hands-on site work (fire door inspections, compartmentation surveys, installations) with office support, offering the chance to build a broad and practical skill set in fire safety.

The Fire Safety & Compliance Officer’s Role

• Supporting admin tasks such as preparing reports and maintaining compliance records
• Carrying out fire door inspections and fire compartmentation surveys (full training provided, as needed)
• Liaising with clients and contractors to help projects run smoothly
• Assisting project managers with fire safety system installation and remedial works
• Potential for conducting Fire Risk Assessments as part of wider compliance support

The Fire Safety & Compliance Officer

• Proactive, organised, and reliable
• Curious and eager to develop – you don’t need to be an expert from day one
• Comfortable with both office and on-site work
• A confident communicator (written and verbal) with a willingness to learn
• Basic IT skills (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)
• A full UK driving licence and full right to work in the UK are required

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Previous experience in administration, compliance, or report writing
• Interest or background in fire safety, construction, or facilities management
• Awareness of health & safety or industry compliance standards

In Return?

• £35,000 – £50,000 depending on experience and qualifications

• Full training in fire safety inspections and surveying (for current & future development)
• Access to a fleet of company vans
• A close-knit, supportive team environment
• Clear career progression – with many team members growing from junior roles
• Competitive salary package and expanding benefits
