Job description

The patch runs from Reading down through Surrey and out into Sussex and Kent. Different buildings, different clients, different kit on nearly every one.

If you've been servicing the same handful of sites for a couple of years and you can predict the week before it starts, that's the difference here.

The day-to-day

• Service and maintenance across fire alarms, CCTV, intruder alarms and access control.
• Fault finding on a wide range of systems. That's the part they care most about.
• Commissioning where it comes up.
• Service documentation done properly, and a share of the on-call rota.

You'd be managing your own diary and your own customers across the patch. It's a job that suits someone who'd rather be trusted than checked on.

Why this one's worth a look

The training is manufacturer-led, not a slideshow. If there's a system you've only half worked with, that's fixable here.

The team is growing, so there's a route beyond engineer for anyone who wants it. That's a real one rather than a line in an advert.

And the earnings are yours to move. Past £50,000 is normal for people who take the work on.

The package

• £38,000 to £43,000 basic, depending on experience
• OTE £50,000+
• Overtime available
• Standby payments
• Company van
• Laptop, phone and tablet
• Pension, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays

What you'll need

• Hands-on experience across fire and security systems
• Strong fault-finding ability
• Good working knowledge of the relevant British Standards
• Full UK driving licence
