Job description

Fire and Security Engineer

Leeds, covering Yorkshire

If you’re an engineer in fire and security and you want a steady role with a great package, proper training, and a mix of work, this might suit you.

Nothing flashy. Just a good setup and a team that backs their engineers.

The Package

• Basic salary up to £45,000
• On-call payments around £1,200 a year
• Most engineers end up roughly £10k on top of basic across the year, with the rota + overtime
• Travel paid
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Healthcare cash plan
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Company van, personal use allowed
• Attendance bonus
• Death in service + accident insurance
• A few smaller perks, like driver awards

The work

You’ll be doing servicing and small works, and maintenance across the Yorkshire patch. It’s a proper mix, not the same building every day.

If you’ve worked with some of this kit already, great. If not, still worth a chat.

• Fire systems (Honeywell, Advanced, Morley, Kentec, Ctec - conventional and addressable)
• Access control (Paxton, Gallagher, ACT Vanderbilt, Grosvenor)
• Intruder alarms (Texecom, Scantronic)
• CCTV (Hikvision, Dahua)

The company has around 100 employees nationwide. Not tiny, not corporate. You’ll get support when you need it, but you’re trusted to crack on.

Clients are varied, so the work stays interesting. You’ll be looking after places like schools, universities, hospitals, care homes, offices, utilities, and gyms. Full commercial work.

They care about quality and want engineers who take pride in what they do. If you’re the same way, you’ll fit in fine.

Training and progression

This is one of the better bits of the job. They’re happy to train you on systems you haven’t touched before, and they do in-house FIA and BAFE courses through their branches. So if you want to build up tickets or widen your skill set, you actually can.

Next step

If you want to know more, apply and send over whatever CV you’ve got, even if it’s not perfect. We can sort the details in a quick chat. Everyone gets a response
