Ashton Fire is a dynamic and rapidly growing Fire Safety and Engineering Consultancy. Operating from an ethical platform, our social and environmental values are at the core of our organisation and service delivery. We strive to provide the highest quality, morally and ethically balanced service to our clients whilst maintaining a team-focused working environment.
About The Role
As a Structural Fire Engineer at Ashton Fire, you will work in an exciting and dynamic field where no two projects are the same.Your role will provide specialist technical expertise in the assessment and design of structures elements subject to fire exposure. Your role will encompass structural fire engineering analysis, fire resistance assessments, and the development of innovative solutions to complex fire safety challenges within both new build and existing structures.
You will be supported by a specialised, close-knit team of structural fire engineers, working collaboratively with our multi-disciplinary fire engineering team and external design teams to develop effective, buildable solutions, that deliver value for our clients. You will be involved in a diverse range of projects including residential, commercial, industrial, heritage buildings, and specialist facilities. The role combines detailed technical analysis - , including advanced computational modelling and finite element analysis - , with practical engineering judgment and client-focused delivery.

Responsibilities
- Undertake structural fire engineering assessments and analyses for a variety of building types and structural forms, including steel, concrete, timber, and composite construction.
- Conduct fire resistance calculations and critical temperature assessments for structural elements in accordance with relevant design codes and standards (Eurocodes, BS standards, etc.).
- Perform thermal modelling and heat transfer analysis to determine temperature distributions in structural members under fire conditions.
- Utilise finite element analysis (FEA) software - such as SAFIR® and Vulcan® - and other computational tools to assess structural behaviour under fire loading, including non-linear analysis where appropriate.
- Develop fire protection strategies and specifications for structural elements, including passive fire protection systems such as intumescent coatings, board systems, and concrete encasement.
- Produce clear and concise technical reports outlining design assumptions, methodologies, calculations, and recommendations for structural fire protection.
- Work collaboratively with fire engineers, architects, structural engineers, and other design team members to integrate structural fire engineering into overall building design.
- Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or closely related discipline (MEng or equivalent preferred).
- At least 3 + years of experience working as a structural engineer or 2 + years of experience as a fire engineer delivering structural fire engineering services
