• Maintain your van stock, test equipment, and tools to the required standard, ensuring you are always equipped to carry out your work.
• Liaise with clients and site contacts professionally, communicating findings, recommendations, and next steps clearly.
• Complete all job management system entries accurately and on time, including time logging, parts usage, and site notes.

• Proven hands-on experience maintaining, servicing, and commissioning fire alarm systems and emergency lighting to BS 5839 and BS 5266.
• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills — able to resolve complex system issues efficiently and accurately.
• Solid working knowledge of fire alarm panel types and manufacturers — comfortable working across a range of systems.
• Experience producing compliant service records, commissioning documentation, and certification.
• Confident acting as a senior engineer on site, providing technical guidance and setting the standard for quality.
• Strong communication skills — professional and clear when dealing with clients and site contacts.
• Able to manage your own workload and travel schedule across London and the M25 corridor.
• Full UK driving licence.
