With over 30 years in the industry, they're proud to be at the forefront of fire safety and are looking for a dedicated Fire Water Systems Maintenance Engineer to join their growing team!

What You'll Be Doing

• Installing, maintaining, and servicing water mist solutions used in fire suppression systems.
• Applying your knowledge of their fire prevention systems to ensure everything is running at peak performance.
• Working across commercial sites, maintaining water pipes, pumps, and associated equipment.
• Aiding with both reactive and planned maintenance tasks, ensuring minimal disruption to client operations.

What Our Client is Looking For

• Experience: At least 2 years of hands‑on experience with water pipes, pumps, or fire suppression systems in a commercial setting.
• Skills: You should have worked with large water pumps and fire suppression systems. If you've got experience with sprinklers too - great!
• Background: Ideally, you'll come from a commercial mechanical background (installation and fixing of water pipes / pumps), but if you've got a bit of electrical M&E experience, that's a bonus.
• Location: They're looking for someone based within the London area.
• Clearance: You'll need to pass an enhanced level 1 background check, so a clean record is essential.

• Holiday: 24 days a year + bank holidays. Plus, an extra day for every 5 years of service and another day at 10 years of service.
• Benefits: Life insurance (x3 your salary post-probation), pension, salary sacrifice, and a range of employee wellbeing perks, including free counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme.
• Work-Life Balance: 45-hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexible start times. After six months, you'll join the on‑call rota (one week at a time) rotating around a team of 10 engineers.
• Company Perks: Two all‑expenses‑paid company events each year - one in the summer, one in the winter.
• Tools: Van, uniform, and specialist tools provided. For the regular stuff, you'll need to bring your own, but we've got your back on the key equipment.

They're looking for someone who's not just experienced but eager to grow and thrive within their Company as they continue to lead the way in fire protection technology.

If you're ready to join a team that's as passionate about fire safety as you are, apply now!
