Installation Engineer, Fire & Security

Gloucestershire & surrounding area

I'm working with a long established fire and security company who have built a brilliant reputation for quality, much of it through word of mouth. They're NSI Gold accredited for both fire and security and BAFE approved, and they're looking for an experienced Installation Engineer to join their team.

The role

You'll install, commission and hand over fire and electronic security systems, many of them bespoke, for clients across the region and beyond. Your coordinator will plan your workload, but you'll manage your own jobs on site, keep accurate commissioning records and report back by phone and email. You'll also fault find, check work done by others and flag any changes the client asks for. As one of the experienced engineers, you'll help train and mentor apprentices too. There's an after hours callout rota, with a callout allowance on top of your salary.

What they're looking for

• Experience installing and commissioning fire and security systems
• An apprenticeship or similar qualification
• Health and safety training records
• Strong problem solving and fault finding
• Good communication, customer service and timekeeping
• Happy working alone or as part of a team
• Full UK driving licence
• Able to pass a DBS check

IT hardware or software experience would be a real plus, as would a genuine interest in bringing on apprentices.

What's on offer

• Up to £45,000 basic depending on experience
• Paid overtime and callout allowance
• Company vehicle
• Phone, laptop and tablet
• Competitive holiday allowance
• Pension
• Clear career progression
• Monday to Friday, 40 hours a week
