The Role - Fire & Security Engineer

You will join a growing team and cover the London area, servicing, maintaining and repairing fire and security systems for a trusted brand that prioritises engineers.

This is a field-based, hands-on position, focused on servicing and upkeep rather than full project installation.

• Diagnosing and repairing faults across fire alarms, CCTV, intruder and access control systems.
• Carrying out routine inspections, preventative maintenance and compliance checks.
• Providing professional, customer-focused service during every visit, reflecting the company's customer-first ethos.
• Ensuring all work is completed to current safety, compliance and accreditation standards.

What You'll Need

• Minimum 5-7 years' experience in the fire & security industry
• Technical knowledge and hands-on experience across both fire alarm systems and security systems (intruder alarms, CCTV, access control). Multi-skilled ability with a preference to specialise in one but competent in both.
• SVQ Level 3 in Fire & Security (or equivalent qualification) is desirable.
• A proactive problem-solver, excellent communicator and confident working independently.
• Full, clean UK driving licence and flexibility to travel around the London region (and potentially further as the area business grows).
• Installation experience is welcome, but the primary focus is service and maintenance.
