Description

Are you a hands-on engineer with a technical mindset, looking to break into the fire safety and alarm systems sector? Do you currently work in fire extinguisher servicing, or have experience in a related technical trade like CCTV, white goods, or electrical installations?

This is a brilliant entry point into a specialist fire protection business that's growing across the UK - and actively expanding in North London and Middlesex. You'll cover both extinguishers and alarm systems from servicing and installation, with fantastic long-term development.

What You'll Do:

Service, install, and troubleshoot portable fire extinguishers at customer construction sites.
Learn and develop skills in fire alarm systems - starting with their bespoke SiteProtect and SiteNet alarms.
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

Where You'll Be:

Field-based across Scotland. Most jobs are on active construction sites, not finished buildings.

If you're technically capable, willing to learn, and ready to develop a career in a growing and innovative fire safety company, we'd love to hear from you. You'll be joining a supportive and well-structured service team led by experienced managers, with plenty of opportunity to grow.
