Job description

An established consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior to Associate level Fire Engineer to join its London-based Fire Engineering team.

The business has an established presence across fire safety and building compliance, with over 15 years experience in the sector. It is affiliated with the IFE and IFSM, is BAFE 205 accredited, and has recently strengthened its senior leadership across Fire Engineering and FRAEW. Due to a strong pipeline of secured projects and rapid growth across the business, the Fire Engineering team is expanding and looking to appoint an experienced Fire Engineer at Senior, Principal or Associate level.

You will work across a varied portfolio of projects, delivering fire strategies, fire engineering design, qualitative design reviews and building safety case reports. The role also provides the opportunity to become involved in cladding and compartmentation remediation, fire risk assessments and external wall fire risk appraisals, should you wish.

• Undertake qualitative design reviews as part of wider project design teams.
