Job description

My client is a specialist fire safety & security contractor providing services to occupied premises across the UK. They are part of a larger group with a turnover in excess of 20 million per year and are a growing business.

They are well established in the fire & security protection sectors, with over 30 years of experience, and have a number of household name clients they have worked with for many years.

Due to a new contract win, they are looking to employ 2 lead engineers to oversee fire & security - one on maintenance / servicing and one on installations.

You will be working in London each day and must be prepared to work out of hours. As a lead engineer, you will still carry out hands-on work but will also act as a lead to junior engineers and be the point of contact for technical queries.

This is the first "lead" role for the company, which is planning to expand. It offers a great opportunity to join a company at the right time, with genuine long-term career potential.

You should have experience as a lead or supervisor working in fire & security across domestic and commercial environments.
