• Conduct fire safety surveys and equipment fault-finding.
• Travel from site to site - door-to-door travel paid.
• Complete accurate paperwork via digital systems.
• Work independently and as part of a wider field-based team.
• Once trained, you'll join a rotating on-call roster (1 week every 6 months).
  
  

Requirements

• Experience in fire extinguisher servicing or a transferable background (CCTV, white goods, audio/visual, lighting, etc.).
• A full UK driving licence.
• BAFE certification (required).
• Good communication, time management, and a customer-first approach.
• Technical aptitude - switched on and eager to learn.
• Flexibility to travel daily and occasionally stay away.
• Fire alarm experience, IPAF/PASMA, CSCS/ECS or basic electrical skills? Even better!
  
  

What You'll Get:

• £32,000 - £35,000 basic salary
• Quarterly bonus scheme
• Door-to-door travel paid
• Company van, fuel card, uniform, and tools

• Overtime at enhanced rates (1.25x weekdays, 1.5x Saturdays, 2x Sundays)
• Pension + company events + development courses
• Full week induction in Hereford (travel and accommodation covered)
• Assigned a buddy engineer for the first 4-6 weeks
• 6-month probation with excellent support
• Paid monthly - first 100 hours advanced in your first pay to avoid any unpaid period
