Senior Fire & Security Engineer, Gloucestershire - £37,000 to £43,000 DOE

Permanent | Field Based

We are recruiting for an experienced Senior Fire & Security Engineer to join an established and growing business covering Gloucestershire.

This is a genuinely multi-discipline role for someone who is confident working independently across both fire and security systems. You will be trusted to handle complex service and fault-finding work without needing regular technical support, while also acting as a point of guidance for less experienced engineers.

This is primarily a service, maintenance and reactive fault-finding role, rather than a large-project installation position.

The role will include

• Servicing and maintaining fire and security systems
• Reactive fault finding and breakdown response
• Diagnosing complex faults independently
• Working across addressable fire alarm systems
• Servicing and fault finding on intruder alarms
• CCTV and access control maintenance
• Completing remedial and like-for-like repair work
• Supporting and guiding less experienced engineers when required
• Completing accurate service documentation
• Liaising professionally with customers
• Working across a range of residential, local authority, education and commercial sites
• Participating in an on-call rota

We are looking for

• Strong experience across both fire and security systems
• Good service and maintenance background
• Strong independent fault-finding ability
• Experience with at least two fire alarm platforms
• Experience with at least two intruder alarm platforms
• Confidence working with CCTV and access control
• The ability to work without regular technical backup
• Experience supporting or mentoring less experienced engineers
• Full UK driving licence

Experience with systems such as Advanced, Kentec, Gent, Morley, C-Tec, Hochiki, Texecom, Galaxy, Pyronix and Risco would be useful.

Relevant FIA, FESS, ECS or electrical qualifications would be advantageous.

Package

• £37,000 to £43,000 depending on experience
• Company vehicle
• Fuel card
• Paid travel
• 23 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Birthday off
• Holiday increasing with service
• Tool cover
• Personal accident insurance
• 24/7 GP access
• Company sick pay
• Employee assistance programme

• Ongoing training and development

Normal working hours are approximately 8am to 5pm, door to door, with participation in an on-call rota.
