An established and growing fire safety consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Fire Engineer to support a diverse range of residential and commercial projects across the UK. The company provides a full suite of fire safety services, including fire strategies, fire engineering consultancy, FRAEW and EWS1 assessments, and fire risk assessments. Having started with a focus on external wall work, they have since expanded to deliver a complete fire engineering offering. They operate as a small, agile consultancy, sitting between large corporate firms and smaller niche practices. This allows them to deliver technically robust work quickly, while maintaining strong, long-term relationships with clients. This position will suit a qualified fire engineer with several years of experience in a commercial consultancy environment who is comfortable leading on projects and supporting junior members of the team.

Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver fire strategies, fire engineering designs, and FRAEW/EWS1 assessments
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining technical and regulatory standards
• Provide mentoring and support to junior and graduate engineers
• Liaise directly with clients, design teams, and approving authorities to deliver compliant solutions
• Work largely remotely, with occasional site and client meetings as required
• Take ownership of project delivery to help free up the Technical Director for strategic oversight

On Offer

• Salary: £60,000–£80,000 depending on experience
• Flexible working structure
• 28 days annual leave plus Christmas shutdown
• Option for additional unpaid leave if needed
• Remote-first working model with close collaboration via Teams
• Genuine autonomy and responsibility on projects
• Opportunity to shape processes and influence company direction as part of a small, growing team

Candidate Requirements

• Degree in Fire Engineering or a closely related discipline
• Chartered or working towards Chartered Engineer status (preferred but not essential)
• Proven experience in a commercial fire engineering consultancy environment
• Strong understanding of fire strategy development, codes, and standards
• Ability to lead projects and communicate effectively with clients and stakeholders
• UK-based (client is unable to offer sponsorship)
