Description
The Team
We are an award winning global consultancy and have been named Building’s Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2024, 2022 and 2021. We are at the forefront of the industry, priding ourselves on our exemplary track record of designing innovative and sustainable projects.
Sustainability runs through everything we do at Cundall, and our people are empowered to drive change and decarbonise the built environment. By the end of this decade, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal to only work on projects that meet our zero carbon design criteria, a commitment we have called our Zero Carbon Design 2030 goal. We need engineers who share this passion for sustainability and thrive in designing energy efficient buildings and communities.
Cundall’s Fire Engineering team pride ourselves on our exemplary track record of providing innovative and sustainable fire engineering solutions, focussed on ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, providing a safe environment without compromising the architectural integrity of the building design.
Our team includes both fire engineering consultants and fire protection systems designers/engineers which enables us to offer integrated solutions and the successful individual would work alongside those members and undertake tasks for both fire engineering and design of fire protection systems.
The Fire Engineering team provide industry leading expertise – and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence.
The Role
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Fire Engineer to join the specialist Fire group in our Bristol office, to work on the design of some of the most exciting construction design projects in the UK and worldwide.
Working across a variety of sectors such as Education, Commercial, Healthcare, Retail and Critical Systems, infrastructure you will carry out detailed fire engineering design and develop fire strategies, fire hazard identification and fire risk assessment, smoke control design and code compliance review. Knowledge of fire suppression and fire alarm system will be beneficial.
You will have the opportunity over time to assume greater levels of responsibility and autonomy as your professional skills develop, and will be supported towards Chartership.
The successful candidate will be supported by dedicated senior members of our team.
The Skills
Educated to degree level in Fire Engineering or in a related discipline, you have gained relevant experience in Fire Engineering design within a building services context (i.e. smoke control calculations, CFAST zone modelling, designing of sprinkler system etc), and have proven your technical understanding in relevant design software. Experience in using Technical Handbooks is desirable.
You have a real interest in Fire Engineering and analysis for the built environment, and crucially - have a passion for creative and intuitive design. You have a proven ability to work effectively as part of a team, are able to manage your own time to meet deadlines and you have an appreciation of the commercial factors which affect design solutions.
Given the collaborative and client focussed nature of this role, excellent communication skills and experience of using your initiative to overcome challenges are essential.
