Fire Engineer, Bristol

Fire Engineer, Bristol - £34,000 to £40,000 DOE, Permanent | Field Based

We are recruiting for a Fire Engineer to join an established and growing Fire & Security business covering the Bristol area.

This is a hands-on service role focused on fire alarm and life-safety systems, with a strong emphasis on maintenance, reactive fault finding and repairs.

The role could suit someone who already has solid fire engineering experience or somebody earlier in their career who has strong electrical foundations, good fault-finding ability and wants to continue developing technically.

The role will include

* Servicing and maintaining fire alarm systems

* Reactive fault finding and breakdown response

* Routine system testing

* Completing like-for-like repairs

* Identifying and diagnosing electrical and system faults

* Carrying out minor remedial works

* Emergency lighting testing and maintenance

* Completing service records and documentation

* Working independently across customer sites

* Liaising professionally with customers

* Participating in the on-call rota

We are looking for

* Hands-on fire alarm or fire life-safety experience

* Good electrical competence

* Experience servicing and maintaining fire systems

* Confident fault-finding ability

* Comfortable carrying out routine reactive repairs

* Good customer-facing skills

* Full UK driving licence

Experience with systems such as Advanced, Kentec, Gent, Morley, C-Tec or Hochiki would be useful.

Experience with emergency lighting would also be beneficial.

Relevant FIA, FESS, ECS or electrical qualifications would be advantageous, but technical ability and practical experience are equally important.

This role could also offer the opportunity to broaden into more advanced fire work and potentially wider security systems over time.
